THEOREM 5.2.1
Suppose that f (t) is continuous for all t 0 satisfies the condition
|f (t)| M ekt

(t 0)

for some constants k and M . and has a derivative f 0 (t) that is piecewise continuous on any
finite interval in the range t 0. Then the Laplace transform of the derivative f 0 (t) exists
when s > k, and
L (f 0 ) = sL (f ) f (0),
s > k.

PROOF
We first consider the case when f 0 (t) is continuous for all t 0. Then, by definitions and
integration by parts, we obtain the desired result
L (f 0 ) =

Z
0

est f 0 (t)dt == est f (t) + s


0

Z
0

est f (t)dt = 0 f (0) + sL (f ), s > k.

By applying the theorem to the second derivative, we obtain


L (f 00 ) = sL (f 0 ) f 0 (0) = s[sL (f ) f (0)] f 0 (0) = s2 L (f ) sf (0) f 0 (0).
Similarly,
L (f 000 ) = s3 L (f ) s2 f (0) sf 0 (0) f 00 (0).
Using the mathematical induction, we obtain the Laplace transforms for the general case of
the derivatives f (n) of an arbitrary order n = 1, 2, . . .
L (f (n) ) = sn L (f ) sn1 f (0) sn2 f 0 (0) . . . sf (n2) (0) f (n1) (0).

EXAMPLE 1 Laplace transform of f (t) = t2


Let f (t) = t2 , t 0. Find F (s).
Solution. We have
f 0 (t) = 2t,

f 00 (t) = 2,

so that
f (0) = 0,

f 0 (0) = 0,

f 00 (0) = 2.

Therefore,
L (f 00 ) = L (2) =

Resolving the latter equality with respect to s, we obtain the result


L (t2 ) =

EXAMPLE 2 Laplace transform of cos t


Derive the Laplace transform of f (t) = cos t.
Solution. We have
f 00 (t) = 2 cos t = 2 f (t),
and
f (0) = 1,

f 0 (0) = 0.

Therefore,
L (f 00 ) = 2 L (f ) = s2 L (f ) sf (0) f 0 (0) = s2 L (f ) s.
Resolving the latter equality with respect to L, we obtain the result
L (f ) =

s2 + 2

EXAMPLE 2 Laplace transform of sin t


Derive the Laplace transform of f (t) = sin t.
Solution. We have
f 0 (t) = cos t,

f 00 (t) = 2 sin t = 2 f (t),

so that
f (0) = 0,

f 0 (0) = .

Therefore,
L (f 00 ) = 2 L (f ) = s2 L (f ) sf (0) f 0 (0) = s2 L (f ) .
Resolving the latter equality with respect to L, we obtain the result
L (f ) =

EXAMPLE 3
Find the Laplace transform of f (t) = sin2 t.
Solution. We have
f 0 (t) = 2 sin t cos t = sin 2t,

f 00 (t) = 2 cos 2t,

so that
f (0) = 0,

f 0 (0) = 0,

f 00 (0) = 2.

Therefore,
L (f 00 ) = 2L (cos 2t) =

EXAMPLE 4
Find the Laplace transform of f (t) = t sin t.
Solution. We have f (0) = 0 and
f 0 (t) = sin t + t cos t,

f 0 (0) = 0;

f 00 (t) = 2 cos t 2 t sin t = 2 cos t 2 f (t),


so that
L (f 00 ) = 2L (cos t) 2 L (f ) = s2 L (f ) sf (0) f 0 (0) = s2 L (f ).

Differential Equations. Initial value problems


Begin with the initial value problem

y(0) = K0 ,

y 0 (0) = K1

(a, b = const).

Describe Laplaces method for solving this nitial value problem.


First step. Writing
Y = L, R = L (r)
we apply the Laplace transform to (1) and obtain
L (y 00 ) + aL (y 0 ) + bL (y) = R
or
[s2 Y sy(0) y 0 (0)] + a[sY y(0)] + bY = R.
This is called the subsidiary equation and reduces to
(s2 + as + b)Y = (s + a)y(0) + y 0 (0) + R(s).
Second step. Solve the subsidiary equation using the transfer function
Q = Q(s) =

s2

1
+ as + b

(2)

to obtain
Y (s) = [(s + a)y(0) + y 0 (0)]Q(s) + R(s)Q(s).
If y(0) = y 0 (0) = 0 this is simply Y = RQ and Q is the quotient
Q=

L(input)

Third step. Determine


y(t) = L1 (Y )
by rearranging (3) algebraically to a sum of elementary transforms.

EXAMPLE 5

y 00 y = t,

y(0) = 1,

y 0 (0) = 1.

Solution. In this case, we have, in terms of (1),


a = 0,

r(t) = t,

K0 = K1 = 1.

Let F (s) be the Laplace transform of f (t). If f (t) is piecewise continuous on any finite interval
in the range t 0 and satisfies the condition

piecewise continuous on each finite interval in the range t 0 and
L [f (t)] = L [g 0 (t)] = sL (g) g(0)

(s > k).

Here, g(0) = 0 and

L (y 00 ) + aL (y 0 ) 2a2 L (y) = 0
and then the subsidiary equation
[s2 Y sy(0) y 0 (0)] + a[sY y(0)] 2a2 Y = 0.
or
(s2 + as 2a2 )Y = 6(s + a).
Second step. Solve the subsidiary equation using the transfer function
