FULL ON THE PROVIDED ANSWER PAPER

5. Solve the following initial value problem by making use of Laplace Transforms:

y 00 (t) + 9y(t) = 2u3 (t)

subject to y(0) = 0 and y 0 (0) = 2.


Solution:
Take Laplace Transforms on both sides of the di¤erential equation:

Lfy 00 (t)g = s2 Y (s) sy(0) y 0 (0) = s2 Y (s) 2


Lfy(t)g = Y (s)
e 3s
Lfu3 (t)g =
s
Equation becomes:
2e 3s
s2 Y (s) 2 + 9Y (s) =
s
3s
2e
Y (s) s2 + 9 = +2
s
2e 3s 2
Y (s) = 2
+ 2
s (s + 9) s + 9

To …nd y(t), take the inverse Laplace Transform. We know that:

1 a
L = sin(at)
s2 + a2
1 3
L = sin(3t)
s2 + 32
1 2 2
L 2
= sin(3t)
s +9 3

Also:
1 cs
L e F (s) = uc (t)f (t c)
1 3s 2
L e = u3 (t)f (t 3)
s (s2 + 9)

Consider the partial fraction decomposition:


2 A Bs + C
= + 2
s (s2 + 9) s s +9
2
2 = A s + 9 + s(Bs + C)
2 = (A + B)s2 + Cs + 9A

Thus:

A+B = 0
C = 0
9A = 2

So A = 29 , B = 2
9
, C = 0.
Thus:

1 2 2 s
f (t) = L
9s 9 s2 + 9
2 2
= cos(3t)
9 9

Thus:
2 2 2
y(t) = u3 (t)f (t 3) + sin(3t) where f (t) = cos(3t)
