Consider L1 2
s 2s 3
s4
First write the partial fractions of is as follows:
s 2s 3
2

s4 s4
2
s 2s 3 s 3s s 3
2

s4

s s 3 1 s 3
s4 s4
...... 1
s 2s 3 s 3 s 1
2

Now,

s4 A B

s 3 s 1 s 1 s 3
s4 A s 3 B s 1
take the LCM
s 3 s 1 s 1 s 3
s 4 A s 3 B s 1
put s 1 on both sides
s 4 A s 3 B s 1
1 4 A 1 3 B 1 1
5 4A 0
5
A
4
put s 3 on both sides
s 4 A s 3 B s 1
3 4 A 3 3 B 3 1
1 0 4B
1
B
4
s4 A B
Substitute these values in .
s 3 s 1 s 1 s 3
So,

s4

5 / 4 1/ 4
s 3 s 1 s 1 s 3
From (1),
s4 s4

s 2s 3 s 3 s 1
2

5 / 4 1/ 4
s 1 s3
s4 5 1 1 1

s 2s 3 4 s 1 4 s 3
2

Taking inverse Laplace transform on both sides,

s 4 5 1 1 1 1 1
L1 2 L L
s 2s 3 4 s 1 4 s 3
s 4 5 t 1 3t 1 at 1 1 at
