Answer:
L(f(t)) = [tex]2 \frac{e^{-s} }{s} - \frac{1}{s}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
let f be a function defined for t ≥ 0
we can write the function f(t) in terms of unit function as follows
f(t) = 2 u,(t) - 1 where
0≤ t < 1
f(t) = (2 * 0) -1 = -1
when t ≥ 1
f(t) = (2*1 )- 1 = 1
Now the Laplace transform L(F(T)) = 2L( u, (t) ) - L(1) --------equation 1
this is because L(u,(t)) = [tex]\frac{e^{-cs} }{s}[/tex]
c = 1 hence L(1) = 1/s
back to equation 1
L(f(t)) = 2 [tex]\frac{e^{-cs} }{s}[/tex] - 1/s laplace transform
also L(u(t) ) = [tex]\frac{e^{-s} }{s}[/tex]
