1.61 Laplace transforms of trig functions

Example.

Laplace transforms of sin\sin and cos\cos. For f⁢(x)=sin⁡a⁢xf(x)=\sin ax and g⁢(x)=cos⁡a⁢xg(x)=\cos ax the Laplace transforms converge for all s>0s>0 and are

F⁢(s)=as2+a2  𝑎𝑛𝑑  G⁢(s)=ss2+a2F(s)={{a}\over{s^{2}+a^{2}}}\qquad{\hbox{and}}\qquad G(s)={{s}\over{s^{2}+a^{2% }}}

respectively.

The first of these statements was proved in frame 1.47-48. The second can be proved in a similar way, or one can use the result for sin⁡a⁢x\sin ax and Proposition 6.41. (See frame 6.42.)
