HI ... PLEASE HELP

OpenStudy (jack1):

laplace transform of \(\large f(t) = e^{-at} \cos (w)t\)

OpenStudy (jack1):

@dan815 ... seeing as ur indoors... lil help? ;P

OpenStudy (jack1):

hey man, u any good at these...? @jim_thompson5910

OpenStudy (jack1):

got a sec bro @ganeshie8 ?

OpenStudy (jack1):

@iambatman ...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's this o-o Calc

OpenStudy (jack1):

yep, crazy calculus

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha, I've never took "Crazy calc" before

OpenStudy (jack1):

its hard... would not recommend :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm, Let's see if I can generate an solution :P

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

hey i think writing cos(wt) using reverse euler identity and plugging the whole thing into laplace integral should be easy right ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

cosx = e^x + e^-x / 2

OpenStudy (jack1):

... is this right: a+s/ (a+s)^2 + w ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

a+s/ (a+s)^2 + w^2 right ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lol simply using the exponential shift wud work too...

OpenStudy (jack1):

ah, yep, sorry, forgot the w^2... my bad

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

cos(wt) ---> s / s^2+w^2 e^(-at)cos(wt) ----> s+a / (s+a)^2 + w^2

OpenStudy (jack1):

so ur just subbing (s+a) in place of s for those... yeah?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yeah

OpenStudy (jack1):

because L [e^-at] = 1/s+a...?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

nope

OpenStudy (jack1):

darn...

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

because of exponential shift rule : e^at * f(t) ----> F(s-a)

OpenStudy (jack1):

ahhhh... ok

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

multiplying a function by `e^(at)` shifts its laplace tranform by `a` units

OpenStudy (jack1):

with u now, cheers man!

OpenStudy (jack1):

will do... exam tomorrow, so will watch in hols, only 1 q on this tho

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

wow ! i can see you're fully ready for the exam :) good luck !!

OpenStudy (jack1):

cheers man
