Question #127131

Find the Laplace transform of the piecewise continuous function
f(x) = {1, 0 ≤ t < 1}
{-3e^-t, t ≥ 1}

Expert's answer

F(s)=0etsf(t)dt==01etsf(t)dt+1etsf(t)dt==01ets1dt+1ets(3et)dt==1ess3es1s+1;F(s)=\int\limits_0^\infty e^{-t\cdot s}\cdot f(t)\,dt=\\ =\int\limits_0^1 e^{-t\cdot s}\cdot f(t)\,dt +\int\limits_1^\infty e^{-t\cdot s}\cdot f(t)\,dt=\\ =\int\limits_0^1 e^{-t\cdot s}\cdot 1\cdot\,dt +\int\limits_1^\infty e^{-t\cdot s}\cdot (-3\cdot e^{-t})\,dt=\\ =\frac{1-e^{-s}}{s}-\frac{3\cdot e^{-s-1}}{s+1} ;
