Consider a function f(t) that satisfies the initial conditions f(0)=5 and f'(0)=3. Find its Laplace Transform for the second derivative if F(s) = 1/(s^2 + 4).
💡 Hint: Identify F(s) and ensure to correctly apply the initial conditions.
A mass-spring system with a damping factor has a differential equation governed by f''(t) + 2f'(t) + f(t) = 0. Using Laplace Transforms, explain how to derive the characteristic equation.
💡 Hint: Start with L{f'} and apply transformations stepwise while paying attention to initial values.
