Exercise · ZW-INVERSE-LAPLACE-TRANSFORM-006 · ★★☆ Intermediate

What is \(\mathcal L^{-1}\left\{\dfrac{2s+3}{s^2+4}\right\}\)?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • A. \(2\cos 2t+\tfrac32\sin 2t\)

Explanation

Split into \(\frac{2s}{s^2+4}+\frac{3}{s^2+4}\). The sine needs a 2 in the numerator: \(\frac3{s^2+4}=\frac32\cdot\frac2{s^2+4}\).

Review the concept: Inverse Laplace transform

The inverse transform \(\mathcal L^{-1}\) of a function \(F(s)\) is the function \(f(t)\), defined for \(t\ge0\), whose Laplace transform is \(F(s)\).

\[f(t)=\mathcal L^{-1}\{F(s)\}\iff \mathcal L\{f\}=F\]
