Physics I / Laplace Transforms
Practice question · True or false

The Laplace transform converts a differential equation into an algebraic equation.

Hints
  1. Ask what the transform does to a derivative.
  2. Differentiation becomes multiplication by the transform variable.
Show the answer

True

Why

L{f'(t)} = sF(s) − f(0)f(0), turning derivatives into polynomial operations.
