LAPLACE TRANSFORMS Example:

Using the list of Laplace transform, determine the following

The Laplace transform of the function ‘f (t)’ is defined by the integral
∫ ( ) , where s is a parameter assumed to be a real number. 1. * +
2. * +
3. * +
* ( )+ ∫ ( ) * +
4.
5. *( ) +
The linearity of property of the Laplace Transform,
- if ‘f(t) and g(t)’ are functions having Laplace transform and if ‘a and b’ are
any real constants

* ( ) ( )+ * ( )+ * ( )+

Some Elementary Standard Laplace transforms The Laplace transform of eat f(t)
f(t) {f(t)} F(s)

1 s>0
* ( )+ ∫ ( ) (1)
a s>0
Thus * ( )+ ∫ ( ( ))
s>0

∫ ( ) ( )
s>0
Where a is a real constant

s>0 Hence the substitution of ( s-a ) for s in the transform shown in equation (1)
corresponds to the multiplication of the original function f (t) by eat. This is
s>0 known as a shift theorem.
