derive Laplace of f(t)
Answers
Answer:
Let f(t) be defined for t ≥ 0. The Laplace transform of f(t),
denoted by F(s) or L{f(t)}, is an integral transform given by the Laplace
integral:
L{f(t)} = ∫
∞ −
=
0
F(s) e f (t) dt st
.
Provided that this (improper) integral exists, i.e. that the integral is
convergent.
The Laplace transform is an operation that transforms a function of t (i.e., a
function of time domain), defined on [0, ∞), to a function of s (i.e., of
frequency domain)
*
. F(s) is the Laplace transform, or simply transform, of
f(t). Together the two functions f(t) and F(s) are called a Laplace transform
pair.
For functions of t continuous on [0, ∞), the above transformation to the
frequency domain is one-to-one. That is, different continuous functions will
have different transforms.
