Hi, i'm struggling with understanding how this expansion came about for determining the LT of f(t). Is anyone familiar with this?
thank you

  • Are you unclear with where the functions that they are applying the Laplace transform are coming from, or the actual step in applying the transform?

  • Hi, thanks for your reply. I know the second shift theorem for the unit step function (u) is being applied but I don't understand where the expansions come from.

If I've understood your comment correctly, then I think I see the confusion.



Recall that the second shifting theorem says that if $mathcal{L}{ f(t)} = F(s)$ then $mathcal{L}{ f(t-a)u(t-a)} = e^{-as}F(s)$



Now, let's dissect taking the Laplace transform of $frac{1}{2}t^2u(t-1)$. Note that our current function is $f(t) = frac{1}{2}t^2$. So then $f(t-1) = frac{1}{2}(t-1)^2$. As such, to get $f(t)$ in the desired form, we will conveniently add $0$ in a number of different ways:
$$f(t)=f(t) + (t-t) + (frac{1}{2}-frac{1}{2}) = frac{1}{2}(t^2-2t+1) + t - frac{1}{2} = f(t-1) + t-frac{1}{2} + (frac{1}{2}-frac{1}{2}) $$
$$= f(t-1) + (t-1) + frac{1}{2} $$
Now we have $f(t)$ in the desired form to apply the shifting theorem.

$$= f(t-1) + (t-1) + frac{1}{2} $$
Now we have $f(t)$ in the desired form to apply the shifting theorem.
