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

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the inverse Laplace transform of the function 1/s(s²+w²) using the partial fraction method. The user initially decomposes the function into A/s + Bs + C/(s²+w²) and calculates A=1/w², B=-1, and C=0. However, they express confusion regarding the final result, which they believe is incorrect, as they obtain 1/w² - cos(wt) after taking the inverse Laplace transform. Other participants confirm the values for A and C but challenge the calculation for B, leading to further clarification on the coefficients. The conversation emphasizes the importance of accurately determining coefficients in partial fraction decomposition for correct inverse transformations.

TL;DR Summary
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

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)
