STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to find the *inverse Laplace transform* of a given function, which means figuring out what original function would produce this given function when the *Laplace transform* is applied to it. Watch out! Remember completing the square is our friend!
Also, don't forget those handy Laplace transform formulas.

STEP 2

1. Prepare the denominator
2. Rewrite the numerator
3. Split the fraction
4. Apply inverse Laplace transform

STEP 3

We'll **complete the square** for the denominator s28s+20s^2 - 8s + 20.
Take half of the coefficient of the ss term (which is 8-8, so half is 4-4), square it (giving us (4)2=16(-4)^2 = 16), and add and subtract this value within the expression.
This gives us s28s+1616+20s^2 - 8s + 16 - 16 + 20.

STEP 4

Now, we can rewrite s28s+16s^2 - 8s + 16 as (s4)2(s-4)^2.
Our denominator becomes (s4)2+4(s-4)^2 + 4, which is (s4)2+22(s-4)^2 + 2^2.
This form is much more friendly for inverse Laplace transforms!

STEP 5

We want the numerator to play nicely with our new denominator, which has a (s4)(s-4).
Let's rewrite the numerator 6s236s - 23 as 6(s4)+16(s-4) + 1.
We chose this because we know terms involving (s4)(s-4) will work well with our denominator when we apply the inverse Laplace transform.

STEP 6

Now, we have 6(s4)+1(s4)2+22\frac{6(s-4) + 1}{(s-4)^2 + 2^2}.
Let's split this into two fractions: 6(s4)(s4)2+22+1(s4)2+22\frac{6(s-4)}{(s-4)^2 + 2^2} + \frac{1}{(s-4)^2 + 2^2}.
This makes it easier to apply the inverse Laplace transform formulas.

STEP 7

We can further rewrite the second fraction to perfectly match the formula for the inverse Laplace transform of sine.
We multiply and divide by **2**, the value in the denominator squared, to get 6(s4)(s4)2+22+122(s4)2+22\frac{6(s-4)}{(s-4)^2 + 2^2} + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{(s-4)^2 + 2^2}.

STEP 8

Now, we can use the inverse Laplace transform formulas!
Recall that L1{sa(sa)2+b2}=eatcos(bt)\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{\frac{s-a}{(s-a)^2 + b^2}\right\} = e^{at}\cos(bt) and L1{b(sa)2+b2}=eatsin(bt)\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{\frac{b}{(s-a)^2 + b^2}\right\} = e^{at}\sin(bt).

STEP 9

Applying these formulas to our expression 6(s4)(s4)2+22+122(s4)2+22\frac{6(s-4)}{(s-4)^2 + 2^2} + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{(s-4)^2 + 2^2} with a=4a=4 and b=2b=2, we get 6e4tcos(2t)+12e4tsin(2t)6e^{4t}\cos(2t) + \frac{1}{2}e^{4t}\sin(2t).

STEP 10

The inverse Laplace transform is f(t)=6e4tcos(2t)+12e4tsin(2t)f(t) = 6e^{4t}\cos(2t) + \frac{1}{2}e^{4t}\sin(2t).
