Find a Lapalce transformation of
[tex]cos^2t[/tex]



Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


started like this
[tex]\mathcal{L}(s)=\int_0^{\infty} e^{-st}\cos^2t\mbox{d}t=\frac{1}{2}\int_0^{\infty}e^{-st}(\cos 2t+1)\mbox{d}t=\frac{1}{2}\int_0^{\infty}e^{-st}\cos 2t\mbox{d}t+\frac{1}{2}\int_0^{\infty}e^{-st}\mbox{d}t=...[/tex]
but i wonder how much the last integral is going to be?

Physics news on Phys.org
∫e-st=(-1/s)e-st

Now just put in the limits from ∞ to 0 and you will get the answer easily.
