Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Prove that if F(s) = 2/(s+5), then the initial value using IVT is correct and explain the steps taken.

💡 Hint: Use the definition of the IVT and work through the substitution.

Challenge 2 Hard

Create a function whose Laplace Transform fails IVT. Explain why and calculate the limits involved.

💡 Hint: Focus on the behavior around t = 0 and identify impulses.
