1.Define the Laplace transform of a function f (t ) .

The Laplace transfom of f (t ) associates afunction of S defined by the equation
g

J ( s ) ! e  st f (t )dt

Here J ( s ) is said to be the Laplace transform of f (t ) and it is written as l ( f (t )) or simply l ( f ) The symbol L which transforms f (t ) into J ( s ) is called the Laplace transform operation.
