 SOME GENERAL FORMULAS
Linearity
L(af(t) + bg(t)) = a L(f) + b L(g)

Tranforms of L(f ) = sL(f) - f(0)

L(f ) = s2 L(f) – s f(0) - f (0)
Derivative
L(f ) = s3 L(f) – s2 f(0) - s f (0) – f (0).
Shift Transforms L[eatf(t)] = F(s-a)

L[f(t-a)u(t-a)] = e-as F(s-a)

Derivative of L [tf(t)] = - F (s)

SOME TRANSFORMS RESULTS
 STEP BY STEP & EXAMPLE

Diff. Equation in y(x)

L(y) Diff Equation in Y(s)
xy’’ + (1-x)y’ + y = 0
(s – s2)Y’ + (2 – s)Y = 0
with y(0) = 1 & y’(0) = -1
Solve Solve

Solution y(x) = C(x-1) L-1 (Y)

Use initial value, get Solution in Y(s)
solution: y = 1 – x. Y = C(1/s2 – 1/s)
Use Laplace transforms, obtain
L(xy  + (1-x)y + y) = 0
Note formula L(tf(t) = -F’(s) and use initial conditions,
L(xy’’) = -L(y’’(x))’(s)
= -d(s2L(f) – s f(0) - f (0))/ds
= -d(s2L(f) – s + 1)/ds
= -s2Y’ – 2sY + 1.
L((1-x)y’) = L(y’) – L(xy’)
= sL(f) - f(0) + d(sL(f) – f(0))/ds
= sY – 1 + Y + sY’
We get
(-s2Y’ – 2sY + 1) + (sY – 1 + Y + sY’) + Y = 0
(s – s2)Y’ + (2 – s)Y = 0
Solve (s – s2)Y’ + (2 – s)Y = 0 as follows

We result
ln Y = ln(s-s2) – 3ln s + C0 = ln ((s-s2)/s3) + C0
Y = C(1/s2 – 1/s)
By invers of Laplace transformation, we
get general solution
y(x) = C(x-1).
By initial value y(0) = 1, we get C = -1.
Thus the solution is
y = 1 – x.
