Laplace Transform and Convolution Theorem

The video tutorial explains how to determine the Laplace transform of an integral using the convolution theorem. It begins by identifying the integral as a convolution integral and then applies the convolution theorem, which states that the Laplace transform of the convolution of two functions equals the product of their individual Laplace transforms. The tutorial demonstrates this by calculating the Laplace transforms of sine and exponential functions and then simplifying the result. The video concludes by highlighting the efficiency of using the convolution theorem to save time and effort.
