=(frac{1}{12(s – 1)}-frac{1}{26} frac{2s+3}{(s^2+ 1)}-frac{1}{156(s + 5)})
=(frac{1}{12(s – 1)}-frac{1}{13} frac{s}{(s^2+ 1)}-frac{1}{12} frac{1}{(s^2+ 1)}-frac{1}{156(s + 5)})
=(frac{1}{12} e^t-frac{1}{13} Cos(t)-frac{1}{12} Sin(t)-frac{1}{156}e^{-5t})

c) 1220
d) 2
Answer: c
Explanation:
Given, (X(s)=frac{2s^2+5s+12/s}{s^3+4s^2+14s+20})
Hence, (sX(s)=frac{2s^3+5s^2+12}{s^3+4s^2+14s+20})
Hence, by final value theorem,
(x(∞)=lim_{xrightarrow 0} ⁡sX(s)=frac{12}{20})

c) 12
d) 2
Answer: d
Explanation:
Given, (X(s)=frac{2s^2+5s+12/s}{s^3+4s^2+14s+20})
Hence, (sX(s)=frac{2s^3+5s^2+12}{s^3+4s^2+14s+20})
Hence, by initial value theorem,
(x(0)=lim_{xrightarrow infty} ⁡sX(s)=2)

=(frac{s+1}{3(s^2+ 2*s + 2)}-frac{s+1}{3(s^2+ 2*s + 5)})
=(frac{s+1}{3[(s+1)^2+1]}-frac{s+1}{3[(s+1^2+4)]})
=(frac{1}{3} [e^{-t} Cos(t)]-frac{1}{3}[e^{-t} Cos(2t)])
=(frac{1}{3} e^{-t} [Cos(t)-Cos(2t)])

11. Find the inverse laplace transform of (Y(s)=frac{2s}{1-s^2}e^{-s}).
a) -e-t + 1 + et – 1
b) -e-t + 1 – et + 1
c) -e-t + 1 + et + 1
d) -e-t + 1 – et – 1
Answer: d
Explanation: Given,
Y(s)=(frac{2s}{1-s^2}e^{-s})
Let,G(s)=(frac{2s}{1-s^2}=-frac{1}{s – 1}-frac{1}{s + 1})
hence,g(t)=(-e^{-t} – e^t)
Since,Y(s)=(e^{-s} G(s)=>y(t)=g(t-1))
hence,y(t)=(-e^{-t+1}-e^{t-1})

12. Find the inverse laplace transform of (frac{1}{s(s-1)(s^2+1)}).
a) 12 e-t + 12 Sin(-t) – 12 Cos(-t)
b) 12 et + 12 Sin(t) – 12 Cos(t)
c) 12 et + 12 Sin(t) + 12 Cos(t)
d) 12 et12 Sin(t) – 12 Cos(t)
Answer: b
Explanation: We know that,
Given, Y(s)=(frac{1}{s(s-1)(s^2+1)})
Let, G(s)=(frac{1}{(s-1)(s^2+1)}=frac{1}{2(s^2-1)}-frac{s+1}{2(s^2+1)}=frac{1}{2*(s-1)}-frac{s}{2(s^2+1)}-frac{1}{2(s^2+1)})
Now, g(t)=(frac{1}{2}e^t-frac{1}{2}cos(t)-frac{1}{2}cos(t))
Now, Y(s)=(frac{1}{2}G(s)=>y(t)=int_0^t g(t)dt=frac{1}{2}e^t+frac{1}{2}sin(t)-frac{1}{2}cos(t))
