Introduction to Laplace Transform
Let f(x) be defined for 0 ≤ x < ∞ and let s denote an arbitrary real
variable. The Laplace transform of f (x), designated by either L or
F (s), is
R∞
L {f (x)}=F (s)= 0 e−sx f (x)dx
for all values of s for which the improper integral converges.
Convergence occur when the limit
RR
limR−→∞ 0 e−sx f (x)dx
exists.
1 Find L {ebx sin ax}
Solution
Putting f (x) = ebx sin ax,s > b in the equation
R∞
L {f (x)}=F (s)= 0 e−sx f (x) dx
R∞
L {ebx sin ax}=F (s)= 0 e−sx ebx sin ax dx
RR
L {ebx sin ax} = F (s) = limR−→∞ 0 e−(s−b)x sin ax dx
Now
d(e−(s−b)x ) = e−(s−b)x d(−(s − b)x)
d(e−(s−b)x ) = −(s − b)e−(s−b)x dx

− s−b
d(e−(s−b)x ) = e−(s−b)x dx
