Think about changing function types.
Question 2.
What does the term e^{-st} serve as in the Laplace transform integral?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how it affects the value of the integral as t increases.
3Question 3.
What is the standard form of the Laplace transform?
- L{f(t)} = ∫_0^∞ e^{-st} f(t) dt
- L{f(t)} = ∫_{-∞}^{∞} e^{-st} f(t) dt
- L{f(t)} = ∫_0^∞ e^{st} f(t) dt
