The Laplace transform of exp(at), where a > 0, is defined only for the Laplace parameter, s > a since______________?

Correct answer: B. The Laplace transform of integral of exp(at) has finite values only for s > a

  • A. The function is exponential
  • B. The Laplace transform of integral of exp(at) has finite values only for s > a
  • C. The Laplace transform integral of exp(at) has initial values only for s > a
  • D. The function exp(at) is piece-wise continuous only for s > a

Explanation

The transform integral is ∫₀∞e^{-(s-a)t}dt, which converges only when s-a>0. Therefore the Laplace transform exists only for s>a.
