What's the inverse Laplace transform of this?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The inverse Laplace transform of the function \( L^{-1}\{\frac{1}{(s^2+4)^2}\} \) can be computed using the convolution theorem. Specifically, it can be expressed as the convolution of two identical transforms: \( L^{-1}\left \{ \frac{1}{(s^2+4)} \right \}*L^{-1}\left \{ \frac{1}{(s^2+4)} \right \} \). The function \( \frac{1}{(s^2+4)} \) corresponds to the inverse transform yielding \( \frac{1}{2} \sin(2t) \), leading to the final result of the convolution. This approach simplifies the computation of the inverse transform for complex functions.

The Attempt at a Solution


I have no idea how to solve this. Any idea to being solving the problem would be appreciated.

One way so solve it (propably not the simplest but an interesting one) would be to use the fact that F(s)G(s) (multiplication of the functions) in Laplace plane is f(t)*g(t) (convolution of the functions) in "time" plane.

[tex] <br /> L^{-1}\left \{ \frac{1}{(s^2+4)^{2}} \right \} = L^{-1}\left \{ \frac{1}{(s^2+4)} \right \}*L^{-1}\left \{ \frac{1}{(s^2+4)} \right \}<br /> [/tex]ROM.
