compute the laplace transform of f(t)=e^{3t}/sin2t using first derivative property

Solution

To compute the Laplace transform of f(t)=e3tsin(2t)f(t) = \frac{e^{3t}}{\sin(2t)} using the first derivative property, let's follow the steps.

Step-by-Step Procedure:

1. Identify the First Derivative Property:

The first derivative property of the Laplace transform states:

L{f(t)}=sF(s)f(0)\mathcal{L}\{f'(t)\} = sF(s) - f(0) where F(s)=L{f(t)}F(s) = \mathcal{L}\{f(t)\}.

2. Rewrite the Function:

We have f(t)=e3tsin(2t)f(t) = \frac{e^{3t}}{\sin(2t)}, and we are tasked with finding F(s)=L{e3tsin(2t)}F(s) = \mathcal{L}\left\{\frac{e^{3t}}{\sin(2t)}\right\}.

Let's define f(t)f(t) as f(t)=g(t)e3tf(t) = g(t)e^{3t}, where g(t)=1sin(2t)g(t) = \frac{1}{\sin(2t)}.

3. Differentiate f(t)f(t):

Apply the product rule to differentiate f(t)=g(t)e3tf(t) = g(t)e^{3t}:

f(t)=g(t)e3t+3g(t)e3tf'(t) = g'(t)e^{3t} + 3g(t)e^{3t}

Since g(t)=1sin(2t)g(t) = \frac{1}{\sin(2t)}, differentiate this with respect to tt:

g(t)=2cos(2t)sin2(2t)g'(t) = -\frac{2\cos(2t)}{\sin^2(2t)}

Therefore:

f(t)=(2cos(2t)sin2(2t))e3t+3e3tsin(2t)f'(t) = \left( -\frac{2\cos(2t)}{\sin^2(2t)} \right) e^{3t} + 3\frac{e^{3t}}{\sin(2t)}

4. Laplace Transform of f(t)f'(t):

Using the derivative property of the Laplace transform:

L{f(t)}=sF(s)f(0)\mathcal{L}\{f'(t)\} = sF(s) - f(0)

We already know f(t)=e3tsin(2t)f(t) = \frac{e^{3t}}{\sin(2t)}, so f(0)=1sin(0)f(0) = \frac{1}{\sin(0)}, but sin(0)=0\sin(0) = 0, and thus f(0)f(0) is undefined. Therefore, this approach leads to complications, and the derivative property can't be directly applied to this function due to the singularity at t=0t = 0.

Conclusion:

The function f(t)=e3tsin(2t)f(t) = \frac{e^{3t}}{\sin(2t)} has a singularity at t=0t = 0, and applying the first derivative property of the Laplace transform involves complexities due to this singularity. The Laplace transform of such functions generally requires the use of advanced techniques like partial fraction decomposition or contour integration, or handling singularities through special methods.
