Homework Statement


Take the Inverse Laplace Transform of: Y(s)=\frac{1}{\tau s+1}\cdot \frac{1}{s}

2. The attempt at a solution
I know:
L^{-1}(\frac{1}{\tau s+1})=\frac{1}{\tau}e^{\frac{-t}{\tau}}
and:
L^{-1}({\frac{1}{s}})=1

But how to continue?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Factor tau out of the denominator of the first fraction in Y(s) and use partial fraction expansion to break Y(s) into the sum of two simple fractions.
 
Awesome, thanks a lot!
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
