Solution
Certainly! Here are the filled-in answers for each of the provided problems:
---
**4. Let \( f(t) = \begin{cases} 0, & 0 \leq t < 3 \\ 2, & t \geq 3 \end{cases} \), then \( \mathcal{L}\{f(t)\} \) is:**
The function \( f(t) \) is a step function that activates at \( t = 3 \). It can be represented using the Heaviside (step) function \( u(t - 3) \):
\[
f(t) = 2 \cdot u(t - 3)
\]
The Laplace transform of \( u(t - a) \) is \( \frac{e^{-as}}{s} \). Therefore:
\[
\mathcal{L}\{f(t)\} = 2 \cdot \frac{e^{-3s}}{s} = \frac{2 e^{-3s}}{s}
\]
---
**5. \( \mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{\frac{-2s + 6}{s^{2} + 4}\right\} = \) ?**
First, decompose the expression:
\[
\frac{-2s + 6}{s^{2} + 4} = -2 \cdot \frac{s}{s^{2} + 4} + 6 \cdot \frac{1}{s^{2} + 4}
\]
Using standard inverse Laplace transforms:
\[
\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{\frac{s}{s^{2} + a^{2}}\right\} = \cos(at)
\]
\[
\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{s^{2} + a^{2}}\right\} = \frac{\sin(at)}{a}
\]
Here, \( a = 2 \):
\[
\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{-2 \cdot \frac{s}{s^{2} + 4}\right\} = -2 \cos(2t)
\]
\[
\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{6 \cdot \frac{1}{s^{2} + 4}\right\} = 6 \cdot \frac{\sin(2t)}{2} = 3 \sin(2t)
\]
Combining both parts:
\[
\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{\frac{-2s + 6}{s^{2} + 4}\right\} = -2 \cos(2t) + 3 \sin(2t)
\]
---
**6. \( \mathcal{L}\left\{t^{n} f(t)\right\} = \) ?**
The Laplace transform of \( t^n f(t) \) can be expressed using the differentiation property of Laplace transforms:
\[
\mathcal{L}\{t^{n} f(t)\} = (-1)^n \frac{d^n}{ds^n} \mathcal{L}\{f(t)\}
\]
Where \( \mathcal{L}\{f(t)\} = F(s) \). Therefore:
\[
\mathcal{L}\{t^{n} f(t)\} = (-1)^n \frac{d^n}{ds^n} F(s)
\]
---
**7. The particular solution of \( y'' + 2y = \) ?**
*Note: It appears that the right-hand side of the differential equation is missing. To determine the particular solution, the form of the nonhomogeneous term (right-hand side) is required. Common forms include polynomials, exponentials, sines, cosines, or combinations thereof. Please provide the complete equation for a specific particular solution.*
---
**8. The indicated \( y_{1}(x) = x e^{-x} \) is a solution of \( y'' + 2 y' + y = 0 \), then \( y_{2}(x) = \) ?**
Given the differential equation:
\[
y'' + 2 y' + y = 0
\]
The characteristic equation is:
\[
r^2 + 2r + 1 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad (r + 1)^2 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad r = -1 \text{ (double root)}
\]
For a double root \( r = -1 \), the general solution to the homogeneous equation is:
\[
y(x) = (C_1 + C_2 x) e^{-x}
\]
Given that \( y_1(x) = x e^{-x} \) is one solution, the second linearly independent solution is:
\[
y_{2}(x) = e^{-x}
\]
