Question

Use appropriate algebra and theorem 7.2.1 to find the given inverse laplace transform. (write your answer as a function of t.) −1 1 s2 − 720 s7

Answer 1

When it comes to laplace equations, there are transformation equations to follow. Generally, when you want to transform a laplace equation, you change the equation from f(t) to F(s). If you do the reverse, it is called the reverse laplace equation.

Based on the given, the useful transformation equation is shown in the attached picture.

When the term is s^2, that must mean that the equation is 1!/s^(1+1) to yield 1/s^2. This means that n=1. Taking the reciprocal s^2 must be equal to 1/t. Thus, for the first term, -11s^2 is equal to -11/t. For the second term, n must be equal to 6 so that 6!/s^(6+1) would yield 720/s^7. Thus, 720s^7 is equal to 1/t^6. 

Hence, the transformed equation is -11/t - 1/t^6
