Where we are
Last time
◦ System modelling in frequency domain, Laplace transforms,
solution of a differential eqn – 1 out of 3 cases
Now
◦ Solution of a differential eqn: 2nd and 3rd case

Lecture notes by Dr Syed Irtiza Ali Shah

 Laplace Transform Solution of a
Differential Equation
Recall Case 1: Roots of Denominator of F(s) are real and distinct

3
Hence to solve a diffr eqn using Laplace
1. Take Laplace transform
2. Solve for output or response
3. Take Partial fractions
4. Take Inverse Laplace
