Understanding the Limit Step in LaPlace Transforms

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on clarifying the limit step in LaPlace transforms, particularly when evaluating the behavior of exponents as a variable approaches infinity. It emphasizes that for values of s greater than 4, both exponents become negative multiples of b, leading them to converge to zero as b approaches infinity. This understanding is crucial for accurately completing the limit step in the transformation process. The participants seek a clearer explanation of these concepts to ensure proper application in their work. Overall, grasping these limit behaviors is essential for mastering LaPlace transforms.

I'm not sure about the answers to parts of the limit step of the work. Can you explain what the answer to that step should be?

Use that s>4. If that's so, then both of the exponents are a negative number times b, and so do go to 0 as b->infinity.
 
thanks

Thread 'Distance between a Clock's hands when the distance is increasing most rapidly'

Question: A clock's minute hand has length 4 and its hour hand has length 3. What is the distance between the tips at the moment when it is increasing most rapidly?(Putnam Exam Question) Answer: Making assumption that both the hands moves at constant angular velocities, the answer is ## \sqrt{7} .## But don't you think this assumption is somewhat doubtful and wrong?
