If the function f(t) and its first derivative are Laplace transformable and f(t)
Has the Laplace transform F(s), and the lim sF ( s ) exists, then
s
The utility of this theorem lies in not having to take the inverse of F(s)
in order to find out the initial condition in the time domain. This is
particularly useful in circuits and systems.

Example: Initial Value Theorem:
Given;

Find f(0)

The Laplace Transform
Theorem: Final Value Theorem:
If the function f(t) and its first derivative are Laplace transformable and f(t)
has the Laplace transform F(s), and the lim sF ( s ) exists, then
s
Again, the utility of this theorem lies in not having to take the inverse
of F(s) in order to find out the final value of f(t) in the time domain.
This is particularly useful in circuits and systems.
