Inverse Laplace using partial fractions
So the question is an initial value problem involving a second order dif eq and we need to then use inverse Laplace.
y''+4y= cost y(0)=1 and y'(0)=0
expanding,
 - sy(0) -y'(0) + 4Y(s) = \frac{s}{s^2 +1} )
Then solve for Y(s)
 = \frac{s}{(s^2 +4)(s^2+1)} - \frac{s}{s^2+4})
the term on the right gives us cos2t
for the term on the left I used Partial fractions. our professor doesn't want us to solve for A,B,C etc. he just wants the functions. So following his example in class I did the following:
} + \frac{Cs+D}{s^2+4}<br />
\Rightarrow \frac{As}{s^2+1} + \frac{B}{s^2+1} + \frac{Cs}{s^2+4}+\frac{D}{s^2+4}<br />
)
Using the table I got
 = Acost + Bsint + (C-1)cos2t + Dsin2t)
The answer in the back of the book is
 + \frac{2}{3}cos(t))
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I basically did EXACTLY what he did in class.
Thanks so much!
