Hi, I am not looking for the answer, i just want to know how i go about solving it

Ive got to find the transfer function of this equation:

I know that the transfer function G(s) is found by:

y(s)=G(s)x(s)

As hard as i try i cannot seem to get x(s) through my workings.

From Laplace i have found the LHS = y(s^2+6s+45) and the RHS to be: e^-sT (not sure about the RHS)

so rearranging i can get y(s) = 1/(s^2 +6s +45) * e^-sT

but i don't know quite what do do here. I've tried inverse laplace to turn it into a heaviside function, but it didn't seem to help. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

That should be LHS [itex]= Y(s)(s^2+6s+45)[/itex] and RHS [itex]= X(s)e^{-sT}[/itex].
 
Ok thx, so it would be [itex]Y(s) = e^{-sT}/(s^2 + 6s +45)X(s)[/itex]
In the form Y(s) = G(s)X(s)

So would the transfer function be:
[itex]G(s) = e^{-sT}/(s^2 + 6s +45)[/itex] ?
 
can anyone tell me if this is the right answer? thank you

[itex]G(s) = e^{-sT}/(s^2 + 6s +45)[/itex]
