What is the Inverse Laplace Transform for V(s)=\frac{2s}{(s^{2}+4)^{2}}?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The Inverse Laplace Transform of the function V(s)=\frac{2s}{(s^{2}+4)^{2}} is determined to be v(t)=\frac{1}{2}tsin(2t)u(t), where u(t) is the unit step function. The discussion includes the application of partial fraction decomposition to separate V(s) into simpler components, specifically A/(s²+4)² and B/(s²+4). The values of A and B are calculated as A=4i and B=2, although the imaginary term requires further clarification in the context of the inverse transform.

1. Find v(t) if V(s)=\frac{2s}{(s^{2}+4)^{2}}

Ans: v(t)=\frac{1}{2}tsin2tu(t)

2. Homework Equations :

V(s)=\frac{a_{n}}{(s-p)^{n}}+\frac{a_{n-1}}{(s-p)^{n-1}}+\cdots+\frac{a_{1}}{(s-p)}
a_{n-k}=\frac{1}{k!}\frac{d^{k}}{ds^{k}}[(s-p)^{n}V(s)]_{s=p}

3. Attempt at a solution:

V(s)=\frac{2s}{(s^{2}+4)^{2}}

V(s)=\frac{2s}{(s^{2}+4)^{2}}=\frac{A}{(s^{2}+4)^{2}}+\frac{B}{(s^{2}+4)}

A=\left[2s-B(s^{2}+4)\right]_{s=2i}

A=4i

B=\frac{d}{ds}\left[2s-B(s^{2}+4)\right]_{s=2i}

B=2

V(s)=\frac{4i}{(s^{2}+4)^{2}}+\frac{2}{(s^{2}+4)}

I am not sure what to do with the imaginary term, but it does not translate to 1/2t, which is what is required for the answer.

?+sin2tu(t)

No. Since the denominator, s^2+ 4 is quadratic you need
\frac{2s}{(s^2+4)^2}= \frac{Ax+ B}{(x^2+4)^2}+ \frac{Cx+ D}{x^2+4}
 
Thanks, I'll attempt again.
