91 Example of Laplace transform of differential equation, concluded

substituting this into

ℒ⁢(y′′′)+2⁢ℒ⁢(y′′)-ℒ⁢(y′)+ℒ⁢(y)=ℒ⁢(u)

gives

(s3+2⁢s2-s+1)⁢y^⁢(s)-7⁢s2-13⁢s+4=u^⁢(s).

Remarks (i) The characteristic equation in frame 88 is the same as we get from frames 19 and 20.

(ii) We often take s such that ℜ⁡s≥0, so s is in the right half plane, and denote the points on the imaginary axis by s=i⁢ω, where ω∈𝐑 is the angular frequency.
