Solution:
We have

L[sin t] = .
s2 + 1
so, by the first shift theorem,
L[e−3t sin t] = F (s + 3),
this is,

L[f ′ (t)] = sF (s) − f (0)
For example:
d s 1
L sin t = L[cos t] = 2 =s 2
= sL[sin t],

Solution:
Since
f (0) = 0
f ′ (0) = 0
f ′′ (t) = 2
L[2] = 2L[1] = 2/s
So, we obtain

Example 5 Let f (t) = t sin at. Find L[f ].
Solution:
We have f (0) = 0 and
f ′ (t) = sin at + at cos at, ⇒ f ′ (0) = 0,
f ′′ (t) = 2a cos at − a2t sin at
= 2a cos at − a2f (t),
so we have
L[f ′′] = 2aL[cos at] − a2L[f ] = s2L[f ].
Using the formula for the Laplace transform of cos at,
we obtain
2as
(s2 + a2 )L[f ] = 2aL[cos at] = .
(s2 + a2)
Hence, the result is
2as
L[t sin at] = .
