I'm currently studying transform of discontinuous and periodic functions
s e 3 s s 2 + 4 s + 5
I've identified F(s) as:
s s 2 + 4 s + 5
but I'm a little stuck on how to find the inverse Laplace transform of this. Do I complete the square?

Completing the square is a great way to go. We could say
s s 2 + 4 s + 5 = s ( s + 2 ) 2 + 1 = ( s + 2 ) 2 ( s + 2 ) 2 + 1 = ( s + 2 ) ( s + 2 ) 2 + 1 2 ( s + 2 ) 2 + 1

You complete the square first s s 2 + 4 s + 5 = s ( s + 2 ) 2 + 1 , then split this thing into cosine and sine's Laplace transforms:
s ( s + 2 ) 2 + 1 = s + 2 ( s + 2 ) 2 + 1 2 ( s + 2 ) 2 + 1
