Find laplace transform y''+16y= {1, 0 {0, y(0)=6 y'(0)=3
Solution
To solve the differential equation using the Laplace transform, we begin by applying the Laplace transform to both sides of the given equation.
Given problem:
where:
\begin{cases} 1, & 0 \le t < \pi \\ 0, & \pi \le t < \infty \end{cases}$$ and the initial conditions are: $$y(0) = 6, \quad y'(0) = 3$$ ### Step 1: Apply the Laplace Transform We apply the Laplace transform to both sides of the differential equation. Using standard Laplace transform properties, we have: $$\mathcal{L}\{y''(t)\} = s^2 Y(s) - s y(0) - y'(0) = s^2 Y(s) - 6s - 3$$ $$\mathcal{L}\{16y(t)\} = 16Y(s)$$ $$\mathcal{L}\{y''(t) + 16y(t)\} = s^2 Y(s) - 6s - 3 + 16 Y(s) = f(s)$$ ### Step 2: Laplace Transform of $$f(t)$$ The function $$f(t)$$ is a piecewise function, which we can write using the Heaviside step function $$u_\pi(t)$$: $$f(t) = 1 - u_\pi(t)$$ The Laplace transform of $$f(t)$$ is: $$\mathcal{L}\{1\} = \frac{1}{s}$$ $$\mathcal{L}\{u_\pi(t)\} = \frac{e^{-\pi s}}{s}$$ Thus: $$\mathcal{L}\{f(t)\} = \frac{1}{s} - \frac{e^{-\pi s}}{s}$$ ### Step 3: Solve for $$Y(s)$$ Now we substitute everything into the Laplace-transformed equation: $$(s^2 + 16) Y(s) - 6s - 3 = \frac{1}{s} - \frac{e^{-\pi s}}{s}$$ Solve for $$Y(s)$$: $$Y(s) = \frac{1}{s(s^2 + 16)} - \frac{e^{-\pi s}}{s(s^2 + 16)} + \frac{6s + 3}{s^2 + 16}$$ ### Step 4: Inverse Laplace Transform We now compute the inverse Laplace transform of each term separately. 1. First term: $$\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{ \frac{1}{s(s^2 + 16)} \right\}$$ This is a standard Laplace transform, and its inverse is: $$\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{ \frac{1}{s(s^2 + 16)} \right\} = 1 - \cos(4t)$$ 2. Second term: $$\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{ \frac{e^{-\pi s}}{s(s^2 + 16)} \right\}$$ This is a shifted function using the second shifting theorem (also known as the Heaviside shifting property): $$\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{ \frac{e^{-\pi s}}{s(s^2 + 16)} \right\} = u_\pi(t) \left[1 - \cos(4(t-\pi))\right]$$ 3. Third term: $$\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{ \frac{6s + 3}{s^2 + 16} \right\}$$ This can be split into two standard transforms: $$\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{ \frac{6s}{s^2 + 16} \right\} = 6 \cos(4t)$$ $$\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{ \frac{3}{s^2 + 16} \right\} = \frac{3}{4} \sin(4t)$$ ### Final Solution: The inverse Laplace transform gives the solution for $$y(t)$$: $$y(t) = 1 - \cos(4t) + 6 \cos(4t) + \frac{3}{4} \sin(4t) - u_\pi(t) \left[ 1 - \cos(4(t-\pi)) \right]$$ Let me know if you'd like further details, or have any questions!
