Activities

You may wish to refer to this Table of Laplace Transforms when completing your homework.

Trouble with partial fractions? Here are two videos that might help:

1. Partial Fraction Decomposition – a basic example.  This is a good basic example.

2. Partial Fraction Decomposition – another example. This is a slightly longer example, and it includes a good explanation of how to set up your partial fractions for different kinds of factors in the denominator.
