1. Define Laplace Transform (LT) and Inverse Laplace Transform
(ILT) and make a list of all standard results in two columns -
one for LT and second for the corresponding ILT.
2. Prove the linearity property of LT and ILT.
3. State and prove the first shifting theorem of LT
4. Find the LTs of the following functions indicating the formula/
theorem used clearly at each step :
(a) e−t sinh 4t
(b) f (t) = t; 0 ≤ t ≤ 1 ; = 0 elsewhere. Sketch the graph
of f (t).
(c) f (t) is a triangle with vertices (0, 0), (2, 0) and height 1 unit.
(d) f (t) = t cos 4t, g(t) = cos2 2t, h(t) = sin4 t
(e) f (t) = te−t cos t, g(t) = t2 sin 3t, h(t) = tnekt
(f) f (t) = cos 2t ; 0 < t < π = 0 ; elsewhere.
(g) f (t) = e−π/2 ; 1 < t < 3 ; = 0 ; elsewhere.
(h) f (t) = 2t2 ; t > 5 ; = 0 ; elsewhere.
(i) f (t) = 1 ∗ sin ωt , g(t) = eat ∗ ebt , h(t) = t ∗ e−t , h(4t)
(j) f (t) = e−2t(cos 2t − 4 sin 2t)
(k) f (t) = 16t2U (t − 1/4)
(l) f (t) = cos2(πt/2)
5. Find the ILT of the following functions indicating the formu-
la/ theorem used clearly at each step, assuming the interval of
validity for the values of s :

6. Define Dirac Delta function and find its LT.
7. Can you have two distinct functions having the same LT? Ex-
plain.
8. State the sufficient conditions for LT to exist. Are these neces-
sary? Explain.
9. Give two examples of functions that do not have LT.
10. Solve the following IVPs using LTs showing clearly all the de-
tails:
(a) y 00 + 9y = e−t ; y(0) = 0 , y 0(0) = 0
(b) y 00 − 6y 0 + 5y = 29 cos 2t ; y(0) = 3.2 , y 0(0) = 6.2
(c) y 00 + 0.4y = 0.02t2 ; y(0) = −25 , y 0(0) = 0
(d) y 00 + 2y 0 + 5y = 50t − 100 , y(2) = −4 , y 0(2) = 14

11. Find and graph/sketch the solution of IVP (you may use Geoge-
bra or some similar graphing tool to get an idea of the solution):
(a) y 00 + 16y = 4δ(t − 3π) , y(0) = 2 , y 0(0) = 0
(b) y 00 + 4y 0 + 5y = δ(t − 1) ; y(0) = 0 , y 0(0) = 3
12. Solve the following IVP and express the solution as a piece-wise
defined function:
y 00 + 5y 0 + 6y = δ(t − π/2) + U (t − π) cos t ; y(0) = 0 = y 0(0)
13. Define convolution of two functions.
14. Solve the following Integral equations using LT:
Rt
(a) y(t) + 4 0 y(τ )(t − τ )dτ = 2t
Rt
(b) y(t) − 0 y(τ ) sin(2t − 2τ )dτ = sin 2t

(c) 0 y(τ )(t − τ )2dτ − y(t) = t2 − 2
