    This tutorial document contains three questions testing Laplace transform skills. Question 1 has students use partial fractions and completing the square to find an inverse Laplace transform. Question 2 has students solve an initial value problem using three different techniques. Question 3 expresses a piecewise defined function in terms of the unit step function and has students solve a differential equation using Laplace transforms.
