Given X(s) = [s+1]/[s^2 + 5s + 7]

What is V(s) if
a) v(t) = x(3t-4) u(3t-4)

b) v(t) = d^2 x(t)/dt^2

The given answer are
a) V(s) = [s+3] / [s^2 + 15s + 63] e^-4s/3
b) V(s) = [13s+28] / [s^2 + 5s + 7]

I got different solutions for both.
Could anyone show me the way to get the answers?
Thanks.
 

Hi wcz,

a) v(t) = x[3(t-4/3)]*u[3(t-4/3)],
and provided that x(t)=0 for t<0, then x(t)=x(t)*u(t) and v(t) = x[3*(t-4/3)] .
We have:

a scaling in time by 3:
Let y(t)=x(3*t)
Y(s)=1/3 * X(s/3)

a translation in time by 4/3: v(t) = y(t-4/3)
V(s) = Y(s)*exp(-4*s/3);

This is the same as the given answer.

b) It should be Y(s) = s^2 * X(s), with a different result than the given answer.

Regards

Thanks Z.
I'm having another problem in solving Inverse Laplace Transform.
Could anyone show me the way to solve the Inverse laplace transform of the following Q,

X(s) = [ s^2 - 2s + 1 ] / [ s^2 ( s^2 + 4) ]
 

Factorization gives:

-1/(2s)+1/(4s^2) +(s/2+3s/4)/(s^2+4)
and check the formulas of laplace transformation.

Click to expand...
& i agree with that but i think factorization will give

-1/2s +1/4s^2 + (s/2 + 3/4 )/(s^2+4)
 

you can take help of ziemer and tranter book and see laplace transform chapter.
