Laplace Transform

1. An inductance of 3 henry, a resistor of 16 ohms and a capacitor of 0.02 farad are connected in series
with an emf of 300 volts. At t=0, the charge on the capacitor and current in the circuit is zero. Find the
charge and current at any time t>0.

Solution:

Let Q and I be instantaneous charge and current respectively at time t,

By Kirchoff’s Law:

Applying Laplace Transform on both sides,

A nut distributor wants to know the nutritional content of various mixtures of almonds, cashews, and pecans.
Her supplier has provided the following nutrition information:

Her first mixture, a

protein blend, consists of 6 cups of almonds, 3 cups of cashews, and 1 cup of pecans. Her second mixture, a low
fat mix, consists of 3 cups of almonds, 6 cups of cashews, and 1 cup of pecans. Her third mixture, a low carb
mix consists of 3 cups of almonds, 1 cup of cashews, and 6 cups of pecans. Determine the amount of protein,
carbs, and fats in a 1 cup serving of each of the mixtures.
Solution:
Sometimes we can just put the information we have into matrices to sort of see what we are going to do from
there. It makes sense to put the first group of data into a matrix with Almonds, Cashews, and Pecans as
columns, and then put the second group of data into a matrix with information about Almonds, Cashews, and
Pecans as rows. This way the columns of the first matrix lines up with the rows of the second matrix, and we
can perform matrix multiplication. This way we get rid of the number of cups of Almonds, Cashews, and
Pecans, which we don’t need. Here is the information we have in table/matrix form:
