laplace transform of impulse function












0












$begingroup$


The laplace tranform of the following function impulse function is



$$int_{0}^{infty}delta(t).e^{-st},dt$$
$$=int_{0}^{infty}delta(t),dt=1$$
(area under unit impulse is always 1)
$$=1.int_{0}^{infty}e^{-st},dt$$
$$=1.frac{1}{S}$$
$$=frac{1}{S}$$
but the correct answer is 1, I don't know why.

    You can't integrate a factor only and take it out from the integral.

    Also $int_0^infty delta(t) e^{-st}dt$ is not a very good notation. You should say instead that $int_{-infty}^infty delta(t) e^{-st}dt = e^{-st}|_{s=0} = 1$

Hint. Note that by the sampling property of the delta function (which is actually a distribution)
$$int_{-infty}^{+infty}f(t)delta(t-t_0)dt=f(t_0).$$

    To make it clear, you can define it as $int_{-infty}^infty delta(t) f(t)dt overset{def}= lim_{epsilon to 0^+} int_{-infty}^infty frac{1_{|t| < epsilon}}{2 epsilon} f(t)dt$
