Laplace transform
Basic pairs
| \( f(t) \) | \( F(s) = \mathcal{L}\{f(t)\} \) | Region of application |
|---|---|---|
| \( a \) (constant) | \( \dfrac{a}{s} \) | \( s>0 \) |
| \( t \) | \( \dfrac{1}{s^{2}} \) | \( s>0 \) |
Linearity example
$$ \mathcal{L}\{2 + 5t\} = 2\,\mathcal{L}\{1\} + 5\,\mathcal{L}\{t\} $$
$$ = 2\,\frac{1}{s} \; + \; 5\,\frac{1}{s^{2}} = \frac{2}{s} + \frac{5}{s^{2}} $$
Note. The stated regions \(s>0\) correspond to the conditions under which the defining integrals converge, i.e., \(\operatorname{Re}(s)>0\).
