    1) The document discusses how to evaluate the Laplace transforms of derivatives, such as L{f'(t)} and L{f''(t)}, by using the definition of the Laplace transform and properties of integrals. 2) It derives equations that relate the Laplace transform of a derivative, L{f^(n)(t)}, to the Laplace transform of the original function, F(s), along with the initial values of the function and its derivatives. 3) It provides three examples that demonstrate applying the derived equations to calculate the Laplace transforms of derivatives of specific functions.

    Transforms of Derivatives

    The goal of this particular topic is for us to be able to use Laplace transform in solving
    differential equation. To that purpose we nee to be able to evaluate quantities such as
       2 
    dy dy
    L and L .
    dt dt2

    For example, say f 0 (t) is continuous for the interval t ≥ 0, using the definition of the Laplace
    transform we have,
    Z ∞
    L {f (t)} =
    0
    e−st f 0 (t)dt
    0
    ∞ Z ∞
    L {f (t)} = e f (t) + s
    0 −st
    e−st f (t)dt
    0 0
    L {f (t)} = −f (0) + s L {f (t)}
    0

    or
    L {f 0 (t)} = sF (s) − f (0) (1)
    The assumption here is that e−st f (t) → 0 as t → ∞. Similarly, we have
    Z ∞
    L {f (t)} =
    00
    e−st f 00 (t)dt
    0
    ∞ Z ∞
    L {f (t)} = e f (t) + s
    00 −st 0
    e−st f 0 (t)dt
    0 0
    L {f (t)} = −f (0) + s L {f (t)}
    00 0 0

    L {f 00 (t)} = s [sF (s) − f (0)] − f 0 (0)

    or
    L {f 00 (t)} = s2 F (s) − sf (0) − f 0 (0) (2)
    In the like manner, we can show that

    L {f 000 (t)} = s3 F (s) − s2 f (0) − sf 0 (0) − f 00 (0) (3)


    Transform of a Derivative

    If f , f 0 , . . . , f (n−1) are continuous on the interval [0, ∞) and if f (n) (t) is piece-wise
    continuous on the interval [0, ∞), then
    L {f (n) (t)} = sn F (s) − s(n−1) f (0) − s(n−2) f 0 (0) − · · · − f (n−1) (0) (4)
    where F (s) = L {f (t)}.

    Example 1.
    Evaluate
    L f 0 (t)
    
    with f (0) = 1
    where
    1
    F (s) =
    s−1
    Solution:
    L f 0 (t) = sF (s) − 1
    
    s
    L f 0 (t) =
    
    −1
    s−1
    1
    L f 0 (t) =
    
    s−1

    Example 2.
    Evaluate
    L f 00 (t) f (0) = 1, f 0 (0) = −1
    
    with
    Solution:
    L f 00 (t) = s2 F (s) − sf (0) − f 0 (0)
    

    L f 00 (t) = sF (s) − s + 1
    

    Example 3.
    Evaluate
    L f 000 (t) f (0) = f 0 (0) = f 00 (0) = 0
    
    with
    Solution:
    L f 000 (t) = s3 F (s) − s2 f (0) − sf 0 (0) − f 00 (0)
    

    L f 000 (t) = s3 F (s)
