ASSIGNMENT – I

[30 January 2021] [M.M. 5]

Instructions
 Write your name, roll number and department clearly at the top of the first page . Start each question on a
new page and write your roll number at the top of each page .
 Answers all questions with proper justification on A4 size paper (or Mathematical word-processor) and
assemble them into a single pdf file.
 Each question carrying 1 marks. If any question is incorrect or there is any printing mistake, then kindly
inform us by a comment in Google-classroom.
 Due date : 2 February 2021 , time : 11:59 PM. Upload your work to Google-classroom for your tutorial
section with your official (@itbhu.ac.in) email account.
Notations :

 Laplace transform of 𝜑(𝑡) is notated as 𝐿(𝜑) = 𝜓(𝑠) and its inverse is denoted by 𝐿−1 (𝜓) = 𝜑(𝑡) .
 ∗ denotes the convolution product.
 Heaviside unit function is denoted by 𝑈(𝑡).

∞ 𝑒 −𝑥
1. Let 𝐿 {∫𝑡 𝑑𝑥 } (𝑠) = 𝑠 𝑓(𝑠) , for 𝑠 > 0. Then find 𝑓(𝑠) , using the final value theorem.
𝑥

𝑦 ′ + 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑡) 2, 0≤𝑡≤1
2. Solve the IVP : { , where 𝑓 (𝑡) = {
𝑦(0) = 0, 0, 𝑡>1.
Is the solution curve continuous on (0, ∞) ?
1
3. Evaluate the value of 𝐿−1 {(𝑠3 } (𝑡 ) , using the convolution theorem.
+2𝑠2 +2𝑠)

4. Prove/disprove : There exists a piecewise continuous function 𝜑(𝑡) , whose Laplace transform
2 +1
is 𝑒 𝑠 . Also, state the used theorem for your favour.
