[Math] Laplace Transform of the product of two functions

laplace transform

What is the Laplace Transform of the product of two functions? Specifically, my function is sin(5t)*cos(5t), but I'd like to know a general principle if it's available. What's the easy way to compute this with a general formula without integrating?

Best Answer

$\sin(5t) \cos(5t) = \sin(10t)/2$ You can take the transform of the above.

There is no general straight forward rule to finding the Laplace transform of a product of two functions. The best strategy is to keep the general Laplace Transforms close at hand and try to convert a given function to a linear combination of those forms.

Methods like partial fractions, writing sine, cosine as exponents .. etc, help.
