I didn't know how to do a 3 part piecewise function in latex, but I have f(x) defined as

[tex]0, t<0[/tex]

[tex]t-\Pi , \leq t < 2\Pi[/tex]

[tex]0, t \geq 2\Pi[/tex]
And I'm supposed to find the laplace transform of it. So I find the step function:

[tex]h(t) = u_{\Pi} (t- \Pi) - u_{2 \Pi}(t-2 \Pi)}[/tex]

So, Tom, if I need 3 integrals I guess I've already gone astray, what happened?
EDIT: I think I might see what went wrong, This step function defines[tex]0, t<0[/tex]

[tex]t-\Pi , \leq t < 2\Pi[/tex]

[tex]1, t \geq 2\Pi[/tex]

pigs might fly?

in which case I need

[tex]h(t) = u_{\Pi} (t- \Pi) - u_{2 \Pi}(t)} - u_{2 \Pi}(t-2 \Pi)}[/tex]

I'm suspicious of the middle term.

Hey Just a minute! haha. I'm a tex noobie I've got a little more done than I've said so far, I'm just having trouble texing it.
