State and prove the linearity property of the Laplace transform by using the definition of Laplace transform. Give an example by selecting different types of function, from, trigonometric, polynomial, exponential that shows the application of this property while solving the Laplace transform by using direct rules.Does such property hold for the inverse Laplace transform as well? Prove by giving a suitable example.

Step 1 
L{af(t)+bg(t)}=aL{f(t)}+bL{g(t)} 
L1{af(s)+bg(s)}=af(t)+bg(t) 
Step 2 
If a function has a finite number of breaks and does not blow up to infinity anywhere, it is said to be piecewise continuous. Assuming that f(t) is a piecewise continuous function, the Laplace transform is used to define f(t). A function's Laplace transform is depicted by L{f(t)} or F(s). When a differential equation is reduced to an algebraic issue, the Laplace transform aids in its solution.
If f(t) and g(t) are functions of t with an existing Laplace transform and a and b are constants, then
L{af(t)+bg(t)}=aL{f(t)}+bL{g(t)} 
Proof of Linearity Property 
L{af(t)+bg(t)}=0est[af(t)+bg(t)] dt  
L{af(t)}=a0estf(t) dt +b0estg(t)] dt  
L{af(t)+bg(t)}=aL{f(t)}+bL{g(t)} 
1. Analysis of electronic circuits: 
Electronic engineers frequently employ the Laplace Transform to swiftly solve differential equations that arise during the analysis of electronic circuits.
2. System modeling: In system modeling, which employs several differential equations, the Laplace Transform is utilized to streamline calculations.
3. Laplace Transform: Without the Laplace Transform, it is impossible to solve digital signal processing issues.
4. Nuclear Physics: A Laplace Transform is employed to determine the true type of radioactive decay. It makes it feasible to easily understand the analytical portion of nuclear physics.
Yes, the linearity property also applies to the inverse Laplace transform.
L1{af(s)+bg(s)}=af(t)+bg(t)
