Homework Statement



\frac{s}{(s-a)(s-b)}

Homework Equations



Now I know that it results in:

\frac{ae^(at)-be^(bt)}{a-b}[\tex]<br /> <br /> <h2>The Attempt at a Solution</h2><br /> <br /> OK, I don&#039;t have the slightest clue where to begin. Could someone point me in the right direction? I&#039;ve looked at all the Transforms on the table on the back of the book but none of them give me a clue as to how to deal with a \frac{s}{s-a}[\tex] situation.

Evaluate the residues of

s/[(s-a)(s-b)] exp(st)

at s = a and s = b using L'Hôpital's theorem.

Thanks for the quick reply, will try that out.
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
