3. Follow the steps to compute the Laplace transform of eat cos(bt) and eat sin(bt). (i) Use Eulers formula eix = cos x + i sin x to rewrite e(a+ib)t in the form u(t) + iv (t) where u(t) and v (t) are real valued functions of t. e(a+ib)t = eat cos(bt) + ieat sin(bt)

(ii) Show that the Laplace transform of f (t) = e(a+ib)t is F (s) =

(Hint: Multiply in the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of s a ib). 1 1 s a + ib = s a ib s a ib s a + ib s a + ib = (s a)2 + b2 sa b = +i (s a)2 + b2 (s a)2 + b2 (iv) Equate real and imaginary parts to conclude that L[u(t)] = U (s)

and

L[v (t)] = V (s)
