I attached the problem as a word document. I'm stuck trying to determine the laplace transform for t-tU(t-1). I know I'm supposed to work with 1/s^2(s+2) and solve for A, B,C. I got B=1/2, A=-1/4, and C=1/4 when 1=(As+B)(s+2)+Cs^2. The answer to the problem is
y= 1/4 + 1/2t +1/4 e^-2t -[1/4 +1/2(t-1) -1/4 e^-2(t-1)] U(t-1). I understand where 1/4 + 1/2t +1/4 e^-2t comes from but I don't understand where -[1/4 +1/2(t-1) -1/4 e^-2(t-1)] U(t-1) comes from.
y= 1/4 + 1/2t +1/4 e^-2t -[1/4 +1/2(t-1) -1/4 e^-2(t-1)] U(t-1). I understand where 1/4 + 1/2t +1/4 e^-2t comes from but I don't understand where -[1/4 +1/2(t-1) -1/4 e^-2(t-1)] U(t-1) comes from.
