Exercise · ZW-LAPLACE-TRANSFORM-OF-A-DERIVATIVE-003 · ★☆☆ Basic

For \(f(t)=\sin t\) we have \(F(s)=\dfrac1{s^2+1}\) and \(f(0)=0\). What is \(\mathcal L\{f'\}\)?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • C. \(\dfrac{s}{s^2+1}\)

Explanation

Since \(f(0)=0\), \(\mathcal L\{f'\}=sF(s)=\frac{s}{s^2+1}\), the transform of \(\cos t=(\sin t)'\).

Review the concept: Laplace transform of a derivative

The Laplace transform \(\mathcal L\) of the derivative \(f'\) of a function \(f(t)\) with transform \(F(s)\) is an expression in \(F(s)\) and the initial value \(f(0)\).

\[\mathcal L\{f'\}(s)=sF(s)-f(0)\]
