To find the Laplace inverse of s2+1s2(s24s9), we can use partial fraction decomposition and apply the inverse Laplace transform to each term.
First, let's factor the denominator s2(s24s9):
s2(s24s9)=s2(s3)(s+3)
We can express the given fraction as the sum of two fractions using partial fraction decomposition:
s2+1s2(s24s9)=As2+Bs+Cs+Ds24s9
To determine the values of A, B, C, and D, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the denominator and equate the numerators:
s2+1=A(s24s9)+B(s)(s24s9)+(Cs+D)(s2)
Expanding and collecting like terms, we get:
s2+1=(A+C)s3+(4A+B+D)s2+(9A4B+Cs)s9A
By comparing coefficients, we obtain the following system of equations:
A+C=0
4A+B+D=1
9A4B+C=0
9A=1
Solving this system of equations, we find A=19, B=49, C=13, and D=179.
Now, let's express the original fraction using the partial fraction decomposition:
s2+1s2(s24s9)=19(1s2)+49(1s)+13s+179s24s9
We can now find the inverse Laplace transform of each term:
1{19(1s2)}=19t
1{49(1s)}=49
1{13s+179s24s9}=131{ss24s9}+1791{1s24s9}
For the term 131{ss24s9}, we need to find the inverse Laplace transform of ss24s9. We can complete the square in the denominator:
s24s9=(s2)213
This allows us to rewrite the fraction as:
ss24s9=s(s2)213
To find the inverse Laplace transform, we recognize that the expression is in the form of a shifted exponential function, specifically s(sa)2+b2, which has the inverse Laplace transform 1beatsin(bt). In our case, a=2 and b=13. Therefore:
1{ss24s9}=113e2tsin(13t)
For the term 1791{1s24s9}, we recognize that it is the inverse Laplace transform of 1s24s9. Using partial fraction decomposition, we can express it as:
1s24s9=As3+Bs+3
By equating the numerators, we have:
1=A(s+3)+B(s3)
Solving for A and B, we find A=16 and B=16. Thus:
1s24s9=16(1s3)+16(1s+3)
The inverse Laplace transform of 1s24s9 can be calculated as:
1{1s24s9}=16e3t+16e3t
Putting all the terms together, we have:
1{s2+1s2(s24s9)}=19t+49+13(113e2tsin(13t))+179(16e3t+16e3t)
