Laplace transform for solving differential equations [closed]












2












$begingroup$


I am confused about Laplace transform. the only thing that is important in Laplace theorem is the value of $f(t)$ in $t geq 0$.



laplace transform:



$mathcal{L}{f(t)}$ $=$ $int_0^infty ! e^{-st}f(t)$



so as we see in the above transform $f(t)$ if $t<0$ is not important at all. so do we find the answer for only $t > 0$ or the answer is correct in $mathbb{R}$?

          In your setting, yes you will find your transform for $t geq 0$.
          If you're interested in $mathbb{R}$ you do $$ F(s) = int_{-infty}^infty e^{-st} f(t)$$ which is also known as Bilateral (2-sided) Laplace transform.
