L'>. Hence we

can differentiate F ( s) to obtain the desired result:
.C (tcosbt) = -F' (s) =
s^2 + b^2 - 2s^2 s^2 - b^2

- EXAMPLE 12.22 Show that .C ( si: t) = Arctan~.
Solution We let f (t) =sin t and F (s) = +-· Because lim sin t = 1, we
8 + l t-+O+ t
can integrate F ( s) to obtain the desired result:
C ( ~. t) = J. ~ = -Arctan- = Arctan-.

Some types of differential equations involve the terms ty' (t) or ty" (t). We can
use Laplace transforms to find the solution if we use the additional substitutions
C (ty' (t)) = -sY' (s) - Y (s), and (12-32)
