Laplace Transforms
1.1 Definition
Let f(t) be a function defined for t t 0. Then the integral
f
³e
st
F(s) f(t)dt
0
is called the laplace transform of f(t) provided the integral exists. The laplace transform of
f(t) is usually denoted by L[f(t)], where L is called the laplace transform operator. i.e
L[f(t)] = F(s)
The original function f(t) is called the inverse Laplace transform and we write
L1[F(s)] = f(t)

f c(t) = 3t 2
Find the laplace transform of t sin t.
f cc(t) = 6t Solution :
Let f(t) = t sin t
f ccc(t) = 6
f c(t) = t cos t sint
and f(0) f c(0) f cc(0) 0
f cc(t) = t sint cos t cos t
Hence
