Problems and Solutions for Section 3.1: Review
of Laplace Transforms
1. Show that, in a partial-fraction expansion, complex conjugate poles have
coefficients that are also complex conjugates. (The result of this relation-
ship is that whenever complex conjugate pairs of poles are present, only
one of the coefficients needs to be computed.)
Solution:
Consider the second-order system with poles at j,
2. Find the Laplace transform of the following time functions:
(a) f(t) = 1 + 7t
(b) f(t) = 4 + 7t+t2+(t), where (t)is the unit impulse function
(c) f(t) = et+ 2e2t+te3t
(d) f(t) = (t+ 1)2
