Can you solve this? I already have some correct answers, but two of them are wrong. Can you identify the wrong answers and then give the correct one to replace it? Thanks.

Solution

To evaluate and verify the solution given in your image, I will analyze the Laplace transform process for the periodic function f(t)f(t) based on the provided graph and solution steps. The solution involves calculating the Laplace transform for a periodic function by using the formula:

F(s)=L{f(t)}=11eTs0Testf(t)dtF(s) = \mathcal{L}\{f(t)\} = \frac{1}{1 - e^{-Ts}} \int_0^T e^{-st} f(t) \, dt

where TT is the period of the function f(t)f(t).

Step-by-Step Analysis of the Solution

  1. Identifying the Period TT: From the graph, we observe that the function has a period of T=5T = 5.

  2. Setting Up the Integral: The integral from 00 to 55 should cover one period of the function. Within this interval, the function appears to take piecewise constant values at different sub-intervals.

  3. Evaluating the Integral: The solution provided evaluates the integral by splitting it according to the intervals where f(t)f(t) is constant. Specifically:

    • From 00 to 22, f(t)=1f(t) = 1,
    • From 22 to 44, f(t)=35f(t) = \frac{3}{5},
    • From 44 to 55, f(t)=0f(t) = 0.
  4. Errors in the Solution: Let's check each part of the solution for correctness.

    • First Integral: 025s(1e2s)\int_0^2 \frac{5}{s} \left( 1 - e^{-2s} \right) This part seems correct based on the function values within [0,2][0, 2].

    • Second Integral: 243s(e2se4s)\int_2^4 \frac{3}{s} \left( e^{-2s} - e^{-4s} \right) This part is also correctly structured as it corresponds to the interval [2,4][2, 4] where f(t)=35f(t) = \frac{3}{5}.

    • Third Integral: 450\int_4^5 0 Since f(t)=0f(t) = 0 in [4,5][4, 5], this integral is also correctly evaluated as zero.

  5. Final Expression: The solution has a simplification step which gives: F(s)=52e2s3e4ss(1e5s)F(s) = \frac{5 - 2e^{-2s} - 3e^{-4s}}{s(1 - e^{-5s})}

Conclusion

After reviewing each part of the solution, the provided answer appears to be correct. However, if there’s a specific detail you noticed as incorrect, it might be due to a typographical or calculation error in simplification rather than in the integral setup.

If you need further verification on each integral or have specific concerns about the steps, please let me know. Here’s a summary of possible questions to deepen understanding:

  1. What does each term in the final answer represent in terms of the periodic function?
  2. How does the Laplace transform change with different periodic values of f(t)f(t)?
  3. Could there be alternative methods to verify the Laplace transform?
  4. How does the presence of discontinuities affect the Laplace transform?
  5. What would the Laplace transform look like if the function had a different period?

Tip: When handling piecewise functions in Laplace transforms, carefully split the integral at each discontinuity for accuracy.
