Homework Statement



F(s) = (2s2 + 20s + 36) / (s3 + 6s2 + 9s)

Homework Equations



L[e-at] = 1 / (s + a)
L-1[(s+a) / ((s+a)2 + w2)] = e-atcos(wt)
L-1[w / ((s+a)2 + w2)] = e-atsin(wt)

The Attempt at a Solution



Factored the top by 2 and the bottom by s, but the rest of the top seems unfactorable. Stuck after that :frown:

I would try factoring the denominator and then applying partial fractions, if you can.
 
Somehow I got from partial fraction 4 unknowns with 3 equations?

A/s + B/(s+3) + (Cs+D) / (s+3)2
