Short Answer

solve the given initial value problem using the method of Laplace transforms. Sketch the graph of the solution.

y''+y=u(t--3);y(0)=0,y'(0)=1

On solving the given initial value problem using the method of Laplace transforms, the solution is y(t)=sint+[1-cos(t-3)]u(t-3) and the corresponding graph is

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Definition

The Laplace transform, is an integral transform that converts a function of a real variable usually t, the time domain to a function of a complex variable s.

Step 2: Taking Laplace Transform of initial value Problem

Given initial value problem

y''+y=u(t-3)

Where y(0)=0 and y'(0)=1

Laplace Transform for the initial value problem

Ly''(s)+Ly(s)=Lut-3s2Ly(s)-sLy(0)-y'(0)+Ly(s)=e-3sss2Ly(s)-0-1+Ly(s)=e-3ss

s2+1Ly(s)-1=e-3ssLy(s)=1s2+1+e-3sss2+1

Step 3: By Partial fraction method

1ss2+1=1s-ss2+1

Equation first becomes,

Ly(s)=1s2+1+e-3ss-se-3ss2+1

Step 4: Taking inverse Laplace transform

y(t)=L-11s2+1+L-1e-3ss+L-1se-3ss2+1=sint+u(t-3)-cos(t-3)u(t-3)=sint+[1-cos(t-3)]u(t-3)

Hence,

y(t)=sint+[1-cos(t-3)]u(t-3)

The graph is given below
