91 Example of Laplace transform of differential equation, concluded

substituting this into

(y′′′)+2(y′′)-(y)+(y)=(u)

gives

(s3+2s2-s+1)y^(s)-7s2-13s+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 s0, so s is in the right half plane, and denote the points on the imaginary axis by s=iω, where ω𝐑 is the angular frequency.
