Problem 3:

Resolve problem 1a in Sheet 5 using Laplace transform to get Y(s).

Solution:
We can easily convert from the time domain to the s-domain using the Laplace table:
1 𝑒 −2𝑠
𝑓1 (𝑡) = 2[𝑢(𝑡) − 𝑢(𝑡 − 2)] →𝐹1 (𝑠) = 2( − )
𝑠 𝑠
𝑓2 (𝑡) = (−𝑡 + 2)[𝑢(𝑡) − 𝑢(𝑡 − 2)] = (−𝑡 + 2)𝑢(𝑡) − (−𝑡 + 2)𝑢(𝑡 − 2) = (−𝑡 + 2) +
−1! 1 −1 2 1
(𝑡 − 2)𝑢(𝑡 − 2) → 𝐹2 (𝑠) = 1+1 + 2 ( ) + 𝑒 −2𝑠 𝐹(𝑠) = 2 + + 𝑒 −2𝑠 ( 2)
𝑠 𝑠 𝑠 𝑠 𝑠
Therefore, we can conclude that:
1 𝑒 −2𝑠 −1 2 1
𝑌(𝑠) = 𝑓1 (𝑡) ∗ 𝑓2 (𝑡) = 𝐹1 (𝑠). 𝐹2 (𝑠) = 2( − )( 2 + + 𝑒 −2𝑠 ( 2 ))
𝑠 𝑠 𝑠 𝑠 𝑠
, making it much easier to multiply in s-domain than convoluting in time domain.
