Problem 35

Recall that according to Euler's formula
$$
e^{i b t}=\cos b t+i \sin b t
$$
since the Laplace transform is linear, it follows that
$$
\begin{aligned}
L[\cos b t] &=\operatorname{Re}\left(L\left[e^{i b t}\right]\right) \\
L[\sin b t] &=\operatorname{Im}\left(L\left[e^{i b t}\right]\right)
\end{aligned}
$$
Find $\left.L\left[e^{i b t}\right], \text { and hence, derive Equations ( } 10.1 .4\right)$ and $(10.1 .5)$

Problem 38

(a) By making the change of variables $t=\frac{x^{2}}{s}(s > 0)$ in the integral that defines the Laplace transform, show that
$$
L\left[t^{-1 / 2}\right]=2 s^{-1 / 2} \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-x^{2}} d x
$$
(b) Use your result in (a) to show that
$$
\left(L\left[t^{-1 / 2}\right]\right)^{2}=4 s^{-1} \int_{0}^{\infty} \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)} d x d y
$$
(c) By changing to polar coordinates, evaluate the double integral in (b), and hence, show that
$$
L\left[t^{-1 / 2}\right]=\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{s}}, s > 0
$$
