1. While solving the ordinary di erential equation using unilateral laplace transform, we consider
the initial conditions of the system.
a) True
b) False

View Answer

Answer: a 
Explanation: When bilateral laplace transformation is used in solving di erential equations, we
don’t consider the initial conditions as the transformation is from -∞ to +∞. But when we consider
unilateral laplace transformation, the integral is from 0 to ∞. So, the initial conditions are
considered.

2. With the help of _____________________ Mr.Melin gave inverse laplace transformation formula.
a) Theory of calculus
b) Theory of probability
c) Theory of statistics
d) Theory of residues

View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Let f(t) be the function in time. The laplace transformation of the function is L[f(t)] =
F(s). So, the inverse laplace transform of F(s) comes out to be the function f(t) in time. The formula
for laplace transform is derived using the theory of residues by Mr.Melin.

3. What is the laplce tranform of the rst derivative of a function y(t) with respect to t : y’(t)?
a) sy(0) – Y(s)
b) sY(s) – y(0)
c) s2 Y(s)-sy(0)-y'(0)
d) s2 Y(s)-sy'(0)-y(0)

View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Let \(f(t) = y(t) \)
\(L[f’(t)] = \int_0^∞ e^{-st} f'(t)dt \) 
\( = e^{-st} f(t)(from \, 0 \, to \, \infty) – \int_0^∞ (-s) e^{-st} f(t)dt \)
\( = -f(0) + s\int_0^{\infty} e^{-st} f(t)dt \)
\( = -f(0) + sF(s) \)
\( = sY(0) -y(0) \).

4. Solve the Ordinary Di erential Equation by Laplace Transformation y’’ – 2y’ – 8y = 0 if y(0) = 3 and
y’(0) = 6.
a) \(3e^t cos(3t)+tsint(3t) \)
b) \(3e^t cos(3t)+te^{-t} sint(3t) \)
c) \(2e^{-t} cos(3t)-2 \frac{t}{3} sint(3t) \)
d) \(2e^{-t} cos(3t)-2 \frac{te^{-t}}{3} sint(3t) \)

View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: L[y’’ – 2y’ – 8y ] = 0
s2 Y(s) – sy(0) – y'(0) – 2sY(s) + 2y(0) – 8Y(s) = 0
(s2 – 2s – 8)Y(s) = 2s
\(L[y(t)] = 2 \frac{s}{(s^2-2s-8)} \)
Therefore, y(t) = 3et cos(3t) + tsint(3t).

5. Solve the Ordinary Di erential Equation y’’ + 2y’ + 5y = e-t sin(t) when y(0) = 0 and y’(0) = 1.(Without
solving for the constants we get in the partial fractions).
a) \(e^t [Acost+A1sint+Bcos(2t)+\frac{(B1)}{2} sin(2t)] \)
b) \(e^{-t} [Acost+A1sint+Bcos(2t)+B1sin(2t)] \)
c) \(e^{-t} [Acost+A1sint+Bcos(2t)+\frac{(B1)}{2} sin(2t)] \)
d) \(e^t [Acost+A1sint+Bcos(2t)+(B1)sin(2t)] \)

View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: \(L[y’’+2y’ +5y = e^{-t} sin(t)] \)
\(s^2 Y(s)-sy(0)-y'(0)+ 2sY(s) -2y(0) + 5Y(s) = \frac{1}{(s+1)^2+1} \)
\((s^2+2s+5)Y(s)= \frac{1}{(s+1)^2+1}+1 \)
\((s^2+2s+5)Y(s)= \frac{(s^2+2s+3)}{(s^2+2s+2)} \)
\( Y(s) = \frac{(s^2+2s+3)}{(s^2+2s+2)(s^2+2s+5)} \)
\( = \frac{(s+1)^2+2}{((s+1)^2+1)((s+1)^2+4)} \)
\( y(t) = e^{-t} L^{-1} [\frac{(As+A1)}{(s^2+1)}+\frac{(Bs+B1)}{(s^2+4)}] \)
\( = e^{-t} [Acost+A1sint+Bcos(2t)+\frac{(B1)}{2} sin(2t)]\).

9. For the Transient analysis of a circuit with capacitors, inductors, resistors, we use bilateral Laplace
Transformation to solve the equation obtained from the Kircho ’s current/voltage law.
a) True
b) False

View Answer


Answer: b
Explanation: For the transient analysis of the circuit with capacitors, inductors, resistors, we have
to know the initial condition of the components used. So, the unilateral Laplace Transform is used
to solve the equations obtained from the Kircho ’s current/voltage law.

10. While solving an Ordinary Di erential Equation using the unilateral Laplace Transform, it is
possible to solve if there is no function in the right hand side of the equation in standard form and if
the initial conditions are zero.
a) True
b) False

View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: It is not possible to solve an equation if the input and the initial conditions are zero
becase Y(s) becomes zero where Y(s) is the Laplace Transform of y(t) function.
