# Thread: inverse laplace transform

1. ## inverse laplace transform

How to show that
$L^{-1} [\frac{6}{(s^2+2s+2)^2}]=3\exp(-t)sin(t)-3t\exp(-t)cos(t)$
where $L^{-1}[F(s)] = f(t)$ is the inverse laplace ?

$\mathcal{L}\{3e^{-t}\sin t-3e^{-t}\cos t\}=3\mathcal{L}\{e^{-t}\sin t\}-3\mathcal{L}\{e^{-t}\cos t\}$ . Now use

$\mathcal{L}\{e^{-at}\sin bt\}=\frac{b}{(s+a)^2+b^2},\quad \mathcal{L}\{e^{-at}\cos bt\}=\frac{s+a}{(s+a)^2+b^2}$ .

Done, thanks!
Now i have to find
$L^{-1} [\frac{6}{(s^2+2s+2)^2}]$
without knowing the result previously.
Thank

use partial fractions

Partial Fraction Decomposition will not do anything here.

Use the Convolution Theorem.

The way indicated by General is the 'winning key'!...

Setting $F(s)= \frac{1}{s^{2}+2\ s + 2}= \frac{1}{1+(s+1)^2}$ is $\mathcal{L}^{-1} \{F(s)\}= e^{-t}\ \sin t$, so that is...

$\mathcal{L}^{-1} \{F^{2}(s)\} = \int_{0}^{t} e^{-\tau}\ e^{\tau - t}\ \sin \tau\ \sin (t-\tau)\ d \tau =$

$= e^{-t}\ (\sin t\ \int_{0}^{t} \sin \tau\ \cos \tau\ d \tau - \cos t\ \int_{0}^{t} \sin^{2} \tau\ d \tau) =$

$= \frac{e^{-t}}{2}\ (\sin t - \sin t\ \cos^{2} t - t\ \cos t + \sin t\ \cos^{2} t) =$

$= \frac{e^{-t}}{2}\ \{\sin t - t\ \cos t \}$

Kind regards
