What Is the Correct Inverse Laplace Transform of 1/s(s²+w²)?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The correct inverse Laplace transform of the function 1/s(s²+w²) is derived using the partial fraction method. The coefficients found are A=1/w², B=-1, and C=0. The final result for the inverse Laplace transform is 1/w²(1 - cos(wt)). This conclusion corrects the initial miscalculation and confirms the proper application of the method.

TL;DR
I want to find inverse laplace of function 1/s(s^2+w^2)
I used partial fraction method first as:
1/s(s^2+w^2)=A/s+Bs+C/(s^2+w^2)
I found A=1/w^2
B=-1
C=0
1/s(s^2+w^2)=1/sw^2- s/s^2 +w^2
Taking invers laplace i get
1/w2 - coswt
But the ans is not correct kindly help.

I agree with your answers for A and C, but I get something different for B.

Tell me?

Comparing the Coefficient of s^2 i get (1+B)/w^2 =0 which give me B=-1

1/s(s^2+w^2)=A/s+Bs+C/(s^2+w^2)
Multiply both sides by ##s(s^2 + w^2)##. What do you get in the next step?

1=A(s^2+w^2)+BS^2+Cs
 
engnrshyckh said:
1=A(s^2+w^2)+BS^2+Cs
For finding B
As^2+Bs^2=0
 
engnrshyckh said:
For finding B
As^2+Bs^2=0
Right, so A + B = 0, and also Aw^2 = 1, so what do you now get for B?

1/s(s^2+w^2)=A/s+Bs+C/(s^2+w^2)
=1/w^2(1/s-s/s^2+w^2) taking inverse laplace ibget
=1/w^2[1-coswt)
