If the above Integral exists and suppose it is F(s).
Then, F(s) is known as Laplace transform of f(t)
Denoted By: F(s) = L[f(t)]
And, the original function is known as Inverse Transform of F(s)
Denoted By: f(t) = L-1[F(s)]

5. Linearity
• Let f(t) be a given function defined for all t ≥ 0 such that,
f(t) = ag(t) + bh(t)
Then,
L[f(t)] = aL[g(t)] + bL[h(t)]
This can be proved by the formal Integral Definition.

6. First Shifting Theorem
• If f(t) has the transform F(s) (where s > k), then 푒푎푡 f(t) has the transform
F(s – a ) {Where s – a > k }

7. Unit Step Function
• Simply u(t - a) is function whose function value is ZERO for t < a.
And has a jump size of 1 at t = a.
This function is called Unit Step Function or Heaviside Function.

• A very simple application of Laplace transform in the area of physics could
be to find out the harmonic vibration of a beam which is supported at its two
ends.
• The Laplace transform can be applied to solve the switching transient
phenomenon in the series or parallel RL,RC or RLC circuits.
