OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Help me understand the first part http://puu.sh/lAwD8/4b15d3612a.png \[ty''+y'+ty=0\] in terms of \[(1+s^2)Y'(s)+sY(s)=0\]

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ s^2 }[s^2Y(s)-sy(0)-y'(0)]+sY(s)-y(0)+\frac{ 1 }{ s^2 } Y(s)=0\]

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

thats what i get using laplace

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

I mean there's no initial conditions either, so how exactly would you approach this

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Oh t = 0

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

laplace transform is not multiplicative

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\mathcal{L}(fg) \ne \mathcal{L}(f)\mathcal{L}(g)\]

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Ah

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

So we use the s - differential rule!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

I think we just need to follow the given instructions

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

I'm looking at the rules right now

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[ty''+y'+ty=0\]

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

It says s - differential rules \[\mathcal {L}(tf(t)) = - \frac{ d }{ ds } \mathcal{L} (f(t))\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

which is same as \(-Y'(s)\) use that

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

\[-\frac{ d }{ ds }[s^2Y(s)-sy(0)-y'(0)]+sY(s)-y(0)+-\frac{ d }{ ds } Y(s)=0\] you mean this

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes, that looks good

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Ooh I think this does work

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

yay it works out

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Thanks ganeshie

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

The second part requires integrating factor

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Third part not thanks xD

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

part c is going to be fun

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

haha ok

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

So we have to expand the binomial series

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes extended binomial theorem : \[(1+x)^r = \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} \dbinom{r}{n}x^r\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

where \[\dbinom{r}{n} = \dfrac{r(r-1)\cdots (r-n+1)}{n!}\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

replace \(x\) by \(s^{-2}\) \(r\) by \(-1/2\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

** yes extended binomial theorem : \[(1+x)^r = \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} \dbinom{r}{n}x^{\color{red}{n}}\]

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

\[\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\dbinom{-1/2}{n}s^{-2} = \dfrac{-1/2(-1/2-1)\cdots (-1/2-n+1)}{n!}\] where n = integers

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

oh oops

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

forgot about s^(-2)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[(1+s^{-2})^{-1/2}~~=~~\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\dbinom{-1/2}{n}s^{-2\color{red}{n}} \]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

multiply that by \(s^{-1}\) and try taking the inverse lapalce transform

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Does the series become just \[s^{-1}(1+s^{-2})^{-1/2}~~=~~\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\dbinom{-1/2}{n}s^{-2n-1}\] I'm not sure if I did this right

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

looks good

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Then take inverse laplace of this? Haha

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lookup the table for \(\mathcal{L}^{-1}(1/s^{n+1})\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

recall that laplace transofrm is just an integral, so it is linear so laplace tranform of sum equals the sum of laplace transforms

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

t^n

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\mathcal{L}\sum F(s) = \sum \mathcal{L}F(s)\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

there must be some factorial term too

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

\[\frac{ n! }{ s^{n+1} }\] is t^n

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

that's the inverse of it

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

can we say \(\mathcal{L}^{-1}(1/s^{2n+1}) = \dfrac{t^{2n}}{(2n)!}\)

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

How did you get that

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\Gamma(n+1)\) is same as \(n!\)

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Oh I don't see that on the table

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\frac{ n! }{ s^{n+1} }\] is t^n

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Correct

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

stare at it follows trivially from above

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\mathcal{L}^{-1}\dfrac{n!}{s^{n+1}} = t^n\] divide \(n!\) both sides \[\dfrac{1}{n!}\mathcal{L}^{-1}\dfrac{n!}{s^{n+1}} = \dfrac{t^n}{n!}\]

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

ohh!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you can pull constants in and out

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

I didn't think we were allowed to do all that haha

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

why not, it follows from linearity \(\int c f(x)\,dx = c\int f(x)\,dx\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

let me put it ina different way so that it may look plausible to you

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

I meant set them equal and do all that, I see, that makes a lot of sense

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\mathcal{L}^{-1}\dfrac{n!}{s^{n+1}} = t^n\] take laplace transform both sides and get \[ \dfrac{n!}{s^{n+1}} =\mathcal{L} t^n\] now, divide \(n!\) both sides \[ \dfrac{1}{s^{n+1}} =\mathcal{L} \dfrac{t^n}{n!}\] take inverse both sides \[\mathcal{L}^{-1}\dfrac{1}{s^{n+1}} = \dfrac{t^n}{n!}\]

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Yes yes, I get it

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

This is like the coolest thing ever

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you just need to expand the binomial coefficient and mess with factorials a bit

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

below might help in getting to the required form : \[(2n)! = 1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4\cdots (2n-1)\cdot(2n)\\~\\ =[1\cdot 3\cdots (2n-1)][2\cdot 4\cdots (2n)]\\~\\ =[1\cdot 3\cdots (2n-1)][1\cdot 2\cdots (n)]*2^n\\~\\ =[1\cdot 3\cdots (2n-1)]*n!*2^n\\~\\ \]

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Ok thank you, I will try
