Convolution Theorem and Inverse Transforms

The video tutorial explains how to determine the inverse of a PL transform using the convolution theorem. It begins by introducing the concept and then defines the functions F(s) and G(s) as fractions. The inverse transforms of these functions are found using a table of transforms. The convolution of the resulting functions f(x) and g(x) is calculated through integration, employing U substitution for simplification. The final result is derived, demonstrating the application of the convolution theorem to find the inverse PL transform.

What is the purpose of using the convolution theorem in this context?

• To simplify the calculation of the inverse PL transform

• To avoid using the Laplace transform table

• To perform partial fraction decomposition

• To find the derivative of the function

How can the given fraction be expressed in terms of Big F of s and Big G of s?
