Table Notes
1. This list is not inclusive and only contains some of the more commonly used
Laplace transforms and formulas.
2. Recall the definition of hyperbolic trig functions.
et + e - t
et - e- t
cosh ( t ) =
sinh ( t ) =
2
2
3. Be careful when using normal trig function vs. hyperbolic trig functions. The
only difference in the formulas is the + a2 for the normal trig functions
becomes a - a2 for the hyperbolic trig functions!
4. Formula #4 uses the Gamma function which is defined as

G ( t ) = e - x xt -1 dx
0

If n is a positive integer then,

G ( n + 1) = n !

The Gamma function is an extension of the normal factorial function. Here are a
couple of quick facts for the Gamma function
G ( p + 1) = pG ( p )
p ( p + 1)( p + 2 )L ( p + n - 1) =
1
G = p
