Answer to Question #236262 in Chemical Engineering for Potti

Question

4)Define Laplace transform and find Laplace transform of the periodic function f(t) =t,0≤t≤2 and f(t+2)=f(t)

Answer 1

Named after its inventor Pierre-Simon, Laplace is an integral transform that converts a function of a real variable, (often time) to a function of a complex variables (complex frequency). The transform has many applications in science and engineering because it is a tool for solving differential equations. In particular, it transforms linear differential equations into algebraic equations and convolution into multiplication
