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

G ( t ) = e - x x t -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

G ( p + n)
