Exercise · ZW-LAPLACE-TRANSFORM-OF-A-DERIVATIVE-009 · ★★★ Advanced

Transforming \(y''-3y'+2y=0\), \(y(0)=1\), \(y'(0)=0\), what \(Y(s)\) results?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • D. \(\dfrac{s-3}{(s-1)(s-2)}\)

Explanation

We get \((s^2Y-s)-3(sY-1)+2Y=0\), i.e. \((s^2-3s+2)Y=s-3\). The \(-3\) comes from moving \(-s+3\) to the other side.

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 \(f(0)\).

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