Exercise 1: Laplace Trasform
1. By using Laplace transform, solve the following initial-value problem (Do not use
convolution.):
𝑦" + 4𝑦 = 4 cos 2𝑡 , 𝑦(0) = 0, 𝑦′(0) = 0
2. Consider the initial-value problem 𝑦′ + 𝑦 = 𝑔(𝑡), 𝑦(0) = 0, where
0, 𝑓𝑜𝑟 0 ≤ 𝑡 ≤ 3
𝑔(𝑡) = {
𝑡, 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑡 ≥ 3
a. Describe the function g(t) in terms of step function u(t).
b. By using Laplace transform solve the initial-value problem. Do not use convolution.
c. Create a piecewise definition for the solution y(t) that does not contain the step
function.
3. Use Laplace transform and the convolution to find a solution to the initial-value problem
𝑦" + 4𝑦 = 2√𝑡, 𝑦(0) = 1, 𝑦′(0) = −6
𝑠−3
4. Find the inverse Laplace Transform of the function 𝐺(𝑠) = (𝑠2 −6𝑠+10)2
5. Let 𝑓(𝑡) = cos 2𝑡 and 𝑔(𝑡) = 𝑒 3𝑡 . Compute f*g(t) using the inverse Laplace Transform.
