Finding the Laplace transform from a graph












0












$begingroup$


Find $mathcal{L}(F(t))$ where $F(t)$ is the perioidic function shown graphically below:



I know a few basic things, but don't know where to get started. For example, I know that the period, T = 2, and that $F(t)$ fluctuates from -1 to 1. Other than that, not too sure where to start.



Note: this is question 87 from Spiegels Laplace transform textbook.

          $mathcal L(F(t) (x)=int_0^{infty} e^{-tx} F(t), dt$. Split the integral into integrals over the intervals $(0,1),(1,2)$ etc. You get $frac {1-e^{-x}} x-frac {e^{-x}-e^{-2x}} x+frac {e^{-2x}-e^{-3x}} x-cdots$. You can express this in simple form by adding two geometric series. I will leave that part to you.

                    Image
                    0 $begingroup$ I was given this tricky problem in which I'm confuse on how to solve it and I would like some help: Let $v(x,y)$ be continuously differentiable function. Let the function $u(s,t)$ be given by $u(s,t) = sin(s)*v(s-2t,t^2)$ . Compute $du/ds$ and $du/dt$ in terms of $v$ and it's partial derivatives. My attempt (which is wrong): Using chain rule: $du/ds=(du/dx)(dx/ds) + (du/dy)(dy/ds)$ $du/dt=(du/dx)(dx/dt) + (du/dx)(dy/dt)$ So, $du/ds = sin(s)*v(x,y)*s + sin(s)*v(x,y)*0$ $du/dt = 2t*sin(s)*v(x,y) - 2*sin(s)*v(x,y)$ Thanks, calculus multivariable-calculus share | cite | improve this question edited Jan 19 at 19:38...

                    Understanding the size os this class of aleatory events

                    Image
                    0 1 $begingroup$ Hi I am having problems to understand this: I have: $Omega = [0,1]$ , $Lambda =$ all subsets with defined length Let $A_{0}$ = {A $subset$ [0,1]: A is finite union of intervals} 1º: My doubt is that $A_{0}$ is a algebra but its not a sigma algebra. Why? Also, A = $(0,1/2) cup (1/2,3/4) cup (3/4,7/8) cup ... cup(1-1/2^{n},1-1/2^{n+1})...$ 2º: So the class of aleatory events would be bigger than $A_{0}$ . Why? How the set A is greater than $A_{0}$ ? measure-theory share | cite | improve this question asked Jan 8 at 19:17 Diogo Bastos Diogo Bastos 116 6 ...
