4. Second Shifting Theorem
The Laplace Transform is crucial for solving differential equations, especially when dealing with delayed functions through the Second Shifting Theorem. This theorem, using the Heaviside step function, enables transformations of functions that activate after a specified time. Its applications span various fields, illustrating its importance in analyzing real-world systems that exhibit delays.
