Short Answer

Use Heaviside's expansion formula derived in Problem 40 to determine the inverse Laplace transform of

F(s)=3s2-16s+5(s+1)(s-3)(s-2)

2e-t-4e3t+5e2t

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Define Inverse Laplace transform

Given a function F(s) , if there is a function f(t) that is continuous on

[0,) and satisfiesL{f}=F,then we say that f(t) is the inverse Laplace transform of F(s)and employ the notation f=L-1{F}

Non-repeated Linear Factors

If Q(s) can be factored into a product of distinct linear factors,

Q(s)=s-r1s-r2s-rn,

where the ri 's are all distinct real numbers, then the partial fraction expansion has the form

P(s)Q(s)=A1s-r1+A2s-r2++Ans-rn,

where the Ai 's are real numbers. There are various ways of determining the constants A1,,An. In the next example, we demonstrate two such methods.2.

Repeated Linear Factors

If s - r is a factor of Q(s) and (s-r)m is the highest power of s - r that divides Q(s), then the portion of the partial fraction expansion of P(s)/Q(s) that corresponds to the term (s-r)m is

A1s-r+A2(s-r)2++Am(s-r)m,

where the Ai's are real numbers.

Quadratic Factors

If (s-α)2+β2 is a quadratic factor of Q(s) that cannot be reduced to linear factors with real coefficients and m is the highest power of (s-α)2+β2 that divides Q(s) , then the portion of the partial fraction expansion that corresponds to (s-α)2+β2 is

C1s+D1(s-α)2+β2+C2s+D2(s-α)2+β22++Cms+Dm(s-α)2+β2m.

it is more convenient to express Cis+Di in the form Ai(s-α)+βBiwhen we look up the Laplace transforms. So let's agree to write this portion of the partial fraction expansion in the equivalent form

A1(s-α)+βB1(s-α)2+β2+A2(s-α)+βB2(s-α)2+β22++Am(s-α)+βBm(s-α)2+β2m.

Step 2: Find the factor of the denominator

There we have

P(s)=3s2-16s+5Q(s)=(s+1)(s-3)(s-2)

SO

Q'(s)=(s-3)(s-2)+(s+1)(s-2)+(s+1)(s-3)

Now we have

Q-1=12 P-1=24Q'3=4 P3=-16Q'2=-3 P2=-15

Using the equation from Problem 40 we get

L-13s2-16s+5(s+1)(s-3)(s-2)(t)=P(-1)Q'(-1)e-t+P(3)Q'(3)e3t+P(2)Q'(2)e2t=2412e-t+-164e3t+-15-3e2t=2e-t-4e3t+5e2t

Thus, L-13s2-16s+5(s+1)(s-3)(s-2)(t)=2e-t-4e3t+5e2t
