17Calculus - Laplace Transform Second Shifting Theorem
17Calculus
On this page, we discuss the second of two important theorems related to Laplace Transforms. They are rather cleverly named the First Shifting Theorem and the Second Shifting Theorem.
\(\displaystyle{ \mathcal{L}\{ e^{-at} f(t) \} = F(s+a) }\) | |
Second Shifting Theorem |
\(\displaystyle{ \mathcal{L}\{ u(t-c)g(t-c) \} = e^{-cs}G(s) }\) |

Second Shifting Theorem
The second shifting theorem looks similar to the first but the results are quite different. In the \(t\)-domain we have the unit step function (Heaviside function) which translates to the exponential function in the \(s\)-domain. Your Laplace Transforms table probably has a row that looks like \(\displaystyle{ \mathcal{L}\{ u(t-c)g(t-c) \} = e^{-cs}G(s) }\)
Okay, let's watch a video that explains this very well and contains a couple of examples and discusses the big picture.

This next video clip contains a lot of the same explanation as the previous video but, toward the end, shows why the theorem holds. It is a good video to watch after the previous one to get some repetition and more detailed explanation. Then, work some practice problems to hone your skills.

Okay, use the second shifting theorem to solve these problems.
Practice
Unless otherwise instructed,
- if \(f(t)\) is given, find the Laplace transform \( F(s) = \mathcal{L}\{ f(t) \} \) using the second shifting theorem
- if \(F(s)\) is given, find the inverse Laplace transform \( f(t) = \mathcal{L}^{-1} \{ F(s) \} \)
Give your answers in exact, completely factored form.
