Example Question #203 : First And Second Derivatives Of Functions

The Laplace Transform is an integral transform that converts functions from the time domain to the complex frequency domain . The transformation of a function f(t) into its Laplace Transform F(s) is given by:

$F(s)= \int_{0}^{\infty}e^{-st}*f(t) dt$

Where s=a+bi , where and are constants and is the imaginary number.

Determine the value of $\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} s}F(s)$ .

Possible Answers:

-tF(s)

f'(t)*F(s)

-sF(s)

tF(s)

Correct answer:

-tF(s)

Explanation:

$\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} s}F(s)= \frac{d}{ds}\int_{0}^{\infty}e^{-st}*f(t) dt=-t*[\int_{0}^{\infty}e^{-st}*f(t) dt]=-tF(s)$
