Differential Equations Inverse Laplace(Partial Fractions)

In summary, a differential equation is a mathematical equation used to describe the relationship between a function and its derivatives. The inverse Laplace transform is a mathematical operation that transforms a function from the Laplace domain back to the time domain, and is commonly used to solve differential equations. Partial fraction decomposition is a method used to simplify rational functions, and is often used in conjunction with the inverse Laplace transform to solve differential equations. However, not all differential equations can be solved using these methods, as some may require other techniques. Differential equations and the inverse Laplace transform have various real-life applications, such as predicting electrical circuit behavior, modeling population growth, and analyzing the motion of objects under forces.

1. L-1{(3s+2)/ (s2+2s +10)}
After completing the square I get to 3s+2 /(s+1)2 + 32 which suggests two solutions or one. They decompose the fraction into [(A)s+1 /(s+1)2 + 32 ]+ [(B) 3/(s+1)2 + 32]
I am unsure of how this decomposition works I thought that we would take A(3s) as the numerator and B(2) as the other. If some one can clarify It would be much appreciated =)

From here

(3s+2) /[(s+1)2 + 32]

Split this as

3s/[(s+1)2 + 32] + 2/[(s+1)2 + 32]

Now remember that Laplace transforms for cos(kt) and sin(kt), and apply the shift theorem. No need for partial fractions here.
