Find L {∫(from 0 to t) u sinh(2u) du}

Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the Laplace transform L{0tusinh(2u)du}L\left\{\int_0^t u \sinh(2u) \, du \right\}.

Step-by-Step Approach:

  1. Recall the property of Laplace Transform: The Laplace transform of an integral is given by: L{0tf(u)du}=F(s)sL\left\{\int_0^t f(u) \, du \right\} = \frac{F(s)}{s} where F(s)=L{f(t)}F(s) = L\{f(t)\} is the Laplace transform of f(t)f(t).

  2. Find the Laplace transform of usinh(2u)u \sinh(2u): Let's compute the Laplace transform of the function f(u)=usinh(2u)f(u) = u \sinh(2u).

    • The Laplace transform of sinh(2u)\sinh(2u) is: L{sinh(2u)}=2s24L\{\sinh(2u)\} = \frac{2}{s^2 - 4}

    • Now, to find L{usinh(2u)}L\{u \sinh(2u)\}, we use the following known result for tf(t)t f(t): L{tf(t)}=ddsL{f(t)}L\{t f(t)\} = -\frac{d}{ds} L\{f(t)\} Therefore, applying this to f(u)=sinh(2u)f(u) = \sinh(2u): L{usinh(2u)}=dds(2s24)L\{u \sinh(2u)\} = -\frac{d}{ds} \left(\frac{2}{s^2 - 4}\right)

  3. Differentiate the expression: Let's differentiate 2s24\frac{2}{s^2 - 4} with respect to ss: dds(2s24)=22s(s24)2=4s(s24)2\frac{d}{ds} \left( \frac{2}{s^2 - 4} \right) = 2 \cdot \frac{-2s}{(s^2 - 4)^2} = \frac{-4s}{(s^2 - 4)^2}

  4. Apply the integral rule: Using the Laplace transform property of integrals mentioned earlier: L{0tusinh(2u)du}=L{usinh(2u)}s=4ss(s24)2L\left\{ \int_0^t u \sinh(2u) \, du \right\} = \frac{L\{u \sinh(2u)\}}{s} = \frac{-4s}{s(s^2 - 4)^2}

    Simplifying: 4ss(s24)2=4(s24)2\frac{-4s}{s(s^2 - 4)^2} = \frac{-4}{(s^2 - 4)^2}

Conclusion:

The correct answer is option (a): 4(s24)2\frac{-4}{(s^2 - 4)^2}
