Differential Eq: Inverse Laplace Transforms

[Gogeta007]

Homework Statement

I have a couple of problems that I am stuck on. The following:

y'' - 6y' + 9y = t
y(0) = 0
y'(0) = 1

and

y'' - 6y' + 13y = 0
y(0) = 0
y'(0) = -3

Homework Equations

y'' = s²Y(s) - sf(0) - f'(0)
y' = sY(s) - f(0)
y = Y(s)

The Attempt at a Solution

===================================
for the first one:

once I substitute into the original equation, I can move things around and I came out with the following:
Y(s){s²-6s+9} = (1 +s²)/s²

So I get Y(s) = (1+s²)/s²(s-3)²

IIRC for partial fractions it should be the following: A/(s-3) + B/(s-3)² + (Cs+D)/s²

I don't know if this is where i messed up but I got:
A=-2/27
B=-1/9
C=2/27
D=1/9

as a final result I get:
-2/27e^3t - 1/92e^3t and the other part (Cs + D)/s^2 . . .I can't find any way to transform that

the back of the book says:
1/9t + 2/27 - 2/27e^3t + 10/9te^3t

=============================

The second one:

Starting by substitution, plugging in the values and solving for Y(s)

Y(s) = -3/(s²-6s + 13)

and well. . I am lost from this point onwards. . .I don't remember how to do partial fractions if you can't factorize that denominator. And the quadratic formula (A=1 B = 6 C=13) gives imaginary numbers

=============================

Thank you!

You just have to separate it into individual terms.

[tex]\frac{Cs+D}{s^2} = \frac{C}{s} + \frac{D}{s^2}[/tex]

Also, according to Mathematica, you should have B=10/9. The other coefficients you found are correct.

Complete the square in the bottom so you get something that looks like

[tex]Y(s) = -\frac{3}{(s-a)^2+b^2}[/tex]

You should be able to find the inverse of that using the tables and the properties of Laplace transforms.

wow. . .I can't believe I missed that. . .how does really old math comes back and haunt you huh?. . .thanks a lot
