Heaviside function, initial value problem

[sunny1324]

Solve the following initial value problem:

y'' - 10y' + 9y= 5t , y(0) = -1, y'(0)=2

using the laplace transform formula, i get this---

s^2 Y * sy(0) - y'(0) - 10[sY - y(0)] + 9Y = 5/s^2


how do i figure out what y(0) and y'(0) is?


thanks

never mind, i just realized that they told you what they were from the initial condition. sorry about that

Heh, I was reading this and wondering what lap-lace transform was, but then I suddenly made the connection that it was La-place...
