Inverse Laplace Transform Practice Problems

(Answers on the last page)


(A) Continuous Examples (no step functions): Compute the inverse Laplace transform of the given function.
The same table can be used to find the inverse Laplace transforms. But it is useful to rewrite some of the
results in our table to a more user friendly form. In particular:
1
1
L1 { s2 +b
2 } = b sin(bt).
L1 { (s+a)12 +b2 } = 1b eat sin(bt).
1
L1 { s1n } = (n1)!
tn1 .
1
1
n1 eat .
L1 { (sa)
n } = (n1)! t

In the problems below, you are given an expression that has already been obtained by using partial fractions.
In a full problem, you would have to do partial fractions to get to this form.

(B) Discontinuous Examples (step functions): Compute the Laplace transform of the given function.
Use L1 {ecs F (s)} = uc (t)L{F (s)}(t c).
Thus, you pull out ecs and write uc (t) out in front.
You then find the Laplace transform of F (s) in the table, but you replace every t with t c.
