DefinitionDifferentiation is modified to algebraic operations in the Laplace domain. It helps in the solution of differential equations. The Laplace transform of the derivative of a function f(t), where the Laplace transform of f(t) is F(s) is L{ f ′( t )}= s F ( s )− f (0). i.e., If f(t) = eat, then the Laplace transform of f is F(s) = s−1−a. So, L{ f ′( t )}= s ⋅ s−a1− 1 = s−as−1
