Question: Consider the problem: ax ' ' + bx ' + cx = f ( t ) , x ( 0 ) = 0 , x

Consider the problem:
ax''+bx'+cx=f(t),x(0)=0,x'(0)=0,
for time 0t<,where a,b,c are constants and f(t)is a known function. We view this problem as a linear system, where f(t)is
a known input and the solution x(t)is the output. Laplace transforms of the input and output functions satisfy the relation
x(s)=H(s)F(s),where we call
H(s)=x(s)F(s)=1as2+bs+c
the system transfer function.
Suppose an input f(t)=6t,when applied to the linear system above, produces the output
x(t)=2(e^-3t-1)+t(e^-3t+5),t0.
Find x(s)=L{x(t)}and F(s)=L{f(t)}.
x(s)=help (formulas)
F(s)=help (formulas)
Now find the system transfer function, H(s).
H(s)=help (formulas)
What will be the output if a Heaviside unit step input f(t)=u(t)is applied to the system?
New x(t)=help (formulas)
