Applications of LaplaceTransforms
1.Laplace transform is used in electronic engineering to solve differential
equations occurring in the analysis of electronic circuits.
2.Laplace transform are used in solving digital signal processing problem
3.Laplace transform are used to get the true form of radioactive decay

Definition: A function𝑓ሺ
𝑡ሻis said to be a periodic function of period 𝑇> 0 if
𝑓ሺ
𝑡+ 𝑛𝑇
ሻ= 𝑓ሺ
𝑡ሻwhere 𝑛 = 1,2,3…..
Example: 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑡,𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 are periodic functions of period 2𝜋since
𝑠𝑖𝑛ሺ
𝑡+ 2𝑛𝜋
ሻ= 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑡,𝑐𝑜𝑠ሺ
𝑡+ 2𝑛𝜋
ሻ= 𝑐
𝑜𝑠𝑡
Result: If 𝑓ሺ
𝑡ሻis a periodic function of period 𝑇
