Find the Laplace inverse of:
s
1) F ( s )= ( s + a ) ( s +b )2 2 2 2

Partial fraction decomposition:

s A B
= + 2 2
( s +a ) ( s +b )
2 2 2 2 2 2
s +a s + b

s= A ( s 2+ b2 ) + B(s2 +a 2)
A+ B=0
2 2
A a + B b =1

From the first equation, we get A=−B. Substituting this into

the second equation:
1 −1
B= 2 2
A= 2 2
b −a b −a

So, our expression becomes:

2 2 2 2
s b −a b −a
= +
( s 2 +a2 ) ( s2 +b 2) s 2+ a2 s2 +b 2

−1 s −sin(a t ) sin(b t )
L { }= 2 2
