Problem 03 | Laplace Transform of Derivatives

Problem 03
Find the Laplace transform of   $f(t) = e^{5t}$   using the transform of derivatives.
 

Solution 03
$f(t) = e^{5t}$       ..........       $f(0) = 1$

$f'(t) = 5e^{5t}$
 

$\mathcal{L} \left\{ f'(t) \right\} = s \, \mathcal{L} \left\{ f(t) \right\} - f(0)$

$\mathcal{L} (5e^{5t}) = s \, \mathcal{L} (e^{5t}) - 1$

$1 = s \, \mathcal{L} (e^{5t}) - \mathcal{L} (5e^{5t})$

$s \, \mathcal{L} (e^{5t}) - 5 \, \mathcal{L} (e^{5t}) = 1$

Problem 02 | Laplace Transform of Derivatives

Problem 02
Find the Laplace transform of   $f(t) = \sin^2 t$   using the transform of derivatives.
 

Solution 02
$f(t) = \sin^2 t$       ..........       $f(0) = 0$

$f'(t) = 2\sin t \, \cos t = \sin 2t$
 

$\mathcal{L} \left\{ f'(t) \right\} = s \, \mathcal{L} \left\{ f(t) \right\} - f(0)$

$\mathcal{L} (\sin 2t) = s \, \mathcal{L} (\sin^2 t) - 0$

$\dfrac{2}{s^2 + 2^2} = s \, \mathcal{L} (\sin^2 t)$

$s \, \mathcal{L} (\sin^2 t) = \dfrac{2}{s^2 + 4}$

Problem 01 | Laplace Transform of Derivatives

Problem 01
Find the Laplace transform of   $f(t) = t^3$   using the transform of derivatives.
 

Solution 01
$f(t) = t^3$       ..........       $f(0) = 0$

$f'(t) = 3t^2$       ..........       $f'(0) = 0$

$f''(t) = 6t$       ..........       $f''(0) = 0$

$f'''(t) = 6$
 

$\mathcal{L} \left\{ f'''(t) \right\} = s^3 \mathcal{L} \left\{ f(t) \right\} - s^2 f(0) - s \, f'(0) - f''(0)$

Laplace Transform of Derivatives

For first-order derivative:
$\mathcal{L} \left\{ f'(t) \right\} = s \, \mathcal{L} \left\{ f(t) \right\} - f(0)$
 

For second-order derivative:
$\mathcal{L} \left\{ f''(t) \right\} = s^2 \mathcal{L} \left\{ f(t) \right\} - s \, f(0) - f'(0)$
 

For third-order derivative:
$\mathcal{L} \left\{ f'''(t) \right\} = s^3 \mathcal{L} \left\{ f(t) \right\} - s^2 f(0) - s \, f'(0) - f''(0)$
 

For nth order derivative:

$\mathcal{L} \left\{ f^n(t) \right\} = s^n \mathcal{L} \left\{ f(t) \right\} - s^{n - 1} f(0) - s^{n - 2} \, f'(0) - \dots - f^{n - 1}(0)$

Compound Interest

In compound interest, the interest earned by the principal at the end of each interest period (compounding period) is added to the principal. The sum (principal + interest) will earn another interest in the next compounding period.
 

Consider \$1000 invested in an account of 10% per year for 3 years. The figures below shows the contrast between simple interest and compound interest.
 

Simple Interest

Simple Interest
In simple interest, only the original principal bears interest and the interest to be paid varies directly with time.
 

The formula for simple interest is given by

$I = Prt$
