Question 1.
Apply the First Shifting Theorem on f(t) = t. What do you get?
Show hintHide hint
Remember to shift s to s-a when using the theorem.
Question 2.
What is the Laplace Transform of e^2t when f(t) is 1?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the basic Laplace Transform for constant functions.
3Question 3.
What does the First Shifting Theorem state?
- ℒ{e^{-a}f(t)} = F(s+a)
- ℒ{e^{a}f(t)} = F(s-a)
- ℒ{f(t)}= F(s)
Show hintHide hint
Recall the specific application of the exponential multiplication.
4Question 4.
True or False: If f(t) has an exponential growth term, you will always apply shifting to the right.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider how the signs of a and e influence the shift.
