Question 1

What does the Laplace Transform do?

  • Converts algebra to calculus
  • Converts functions into the time domain
  • Converts functions into the s-domain

💡 Hint: Think about what transformations allow us to do more easily.

Question 2

True or False: Laplace Transforms can only be used for linear ODEs.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Remember that not all ODEs fit neatly into 'linear' categories.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Solve the differential equation d^2y/dt^2 + 3dy/dt + 2y = 0 with specified conditions y(0) = 2 and dy/dt (0) = 3 using Laplace Transforms.

💡 Hint: Don't forget to handle both initial conditions carefully during transformation.

Question 2

Using the Laplace Transform, determine the current i(t) in an RLC circuit satisfying the equation L(d^2i/dt^2) + R(di/dt) + i/C = V(t), with the step function V(t).

💡 Hint: Recognize how each component in the circuit interacts as you develop your transformations.
