For example, if you know that y is equal to f of x, you might write this as y prime. You might write this as dy dx, which you'll often hear me say is the derivative of y with respect to x, and that you could use the derivative of f with respect to x, because y is equal to our function. But then later on, especially whe...

For example, you will learn, or you might have already seen, if you're trying to solve the differential equation, the derivative of y with respect to x is equal to y, so the rate of change of y with respect to x is equal to the value of y itself. This is one of the most basic differential equations you might see. You'l...

It's not super mathematically rigorous, but it has proven to be a useful tool for us to find these solutions. And conceptually, the way that I think about a dy or a dx is this is the super small change in y in response to a super small change in x. And that's essentially what this definition of the limit is telling us,...

So we're at, it's equal to 1 over a minus s. That's just going to be a constant, right? So we can just leave it out on the outside. 1 over a minus s times e to the a minus st.

Because it's e to an infinitely positive exponent. So it actually, we don't get an answer.

So if a minus s is less than 0, then this is a negative number, e to the a minus s times, well, t, where t approaches infinity, will be 0, minus this integral evaluated at 0.

Let me see if I can do it a little bit straighter. Don't judge me by the straightness of my axes. So that's t. So what happens when I multiply these two? Everywhere, when t equals anything other than c, the Dirac delta function is 0. So it's 0 times anything. I don't care what this function is, it's going to be 0. So i...

Everywhere, when t equals anything other than c, the Dirac delta function is 0. So it's 0 times anything. I don't care what this function is, it's going to be 0. So it's going to be 0 everywhere except something interesting happens at t is equal to c. At t equals c, what's the value of the function? Well, it's going to...

So it's going to be 0 everywhere except something interesting happens at t is equal to c. At t equals c, what's the value of the function? Well, it's going to be the value of the Dirac delta function times whatever height this is. This is going to be this point right here, or this right there, that point, this is going...
Laplace transform of the dirac delta function Laplace transform Khan Academy.mp3
This is going to be e to the minus sc times f of c. All I'm doing is I'm just evaluating this function at c. So that's the point right there. So if you take this point, which is just some number, it could be 5, 5 times this, you're just getting 5 times the Dirac delta function. Or, in this case, it's not 5, it's this l...
Laplace transform of the dirac delta function Laplace transform Khan Academy.mp3
I could just draw it like this. When I multiply this thing times my little delta function there, I get this. The height, it's a delta function, but it's scaled now. It's scaled, so now my new thing is going to look like this. If I just multiply that times that, I essentially get e to the minus sc times f of c. This mig...

It's scaled, so now my new thing is going to look like this. If I just multiply that times that, I essentially get e to the minus sc times f of c. This might look like some fancy function, but it's just a number when we consider it in terms of t. S becomes something when we go into the plus world, but from t's point of...
Laplace transform of the dirac delta function Laplace transform Khan Academy.mp3
So it's this constant times my Dirac delta function, times delta of t minus c. When I multiply that thing times that thing, all I'm left with is this thing. This height is still going to be infinitely high, but it's infinitely high scaled in such a way that its area is going to be not 1, and I'll show it to you. So wha...
Laplace transform of the dirac delta function Laplace transform Khan Academy.mp3
Taking the integral of this thing from minus infinity to infinity, since this thing is this thing, it should be the same thing as taking the integral of this thing from minus infinity to infinity. So let's do that. Actually, we only have to do it from minus infinity. I said from 0 to infinity. So if we take from 0 to i...
Laplace transform of the dirac delta function Laplace transform Khan Academy.mp3
I said from 0 to infinity. So if we take from 0 to infinity, what I'm saying is taking this integral is equivalent to taking this integral. So e to the minus sc f of c times my delta function, t minus c dt. Now, this thing right here, let me make this very clear. I'm claiming that this is equivalent to this, because ev...
Laplace transform of the dirac delta function Laplace transform Khan Academy.mp3
Now, this thing right here, let me make this very clear. I'm claiming that this is equivalent to this, because everywhere else the delta function zeros out this function, so we only care about this function, or e to the minus st f of t, when t is equal to c. And so that's why we were able to turn it into a constant. Bu...
Laplace transform of the dirac delta function Laplace transform Khan Academy.mp3
And so this is equal to, I'm going to go backwards here just to kind of save space and still give you these things to look at. If we take out the constants from inside of the integral, we get e to the minus sc times f of c times the integral from 0 to infinity of f of t minus c dt. Oh, sorry, not f of t minus c. Let me...
Laplace transform of the dirac delta function Laplace transform Khan Academy.mp3
This is not an f. I have to be very careful. This is a delta. Let me do that in a different color. I took out the constant terms there, and it's going to be of delta of t minus c dt. Let me get the right color, dt. Now, what is this thing by definition? This thing is 1.
Laplace transform of the dirac delta function Laplace transform Khan Academy.mp3
I took out the constant terms there, and it's going to be of delta of t minus c dt. Let me get the right color, dt. Now, what is this thing by definition? This thing is 1. I mean, we could put it from minus infinity to infinity. It doesn't matter. The only time where it has any error is right under c. So this thing is ...

This thing is 1. I mean, we could put it from minus infinity to infinity. It doesn't matter. The only time where it has any error is right under c. So this thing is equal to 1. So this whole integral right there has been reduced to this right there because this is just equal to 1. So the Laplace transform of our shifte...

The only time where it has any error is right under c. So this thing is equal to 1. So this whole integral right there has been reduced to this right there because this is just equal to 1. So the Laplace transform of our shifted delta function times some other function is equal to e to the minus sc times f of c. Let me...
Laplace transform of the dirac delta function Laplace transform Khan Academy.mp3
Let me write it all at once. So the Laplace transform of our shifted delta function, t minus c, times some function f of t, it equals e to the minus c. Essentially, we're just evaluating e to the minus sc evaluated at c. So e to the minus cs times f of c. We're essentially just evaluating these things at c. This is wha...
Laplace transform of the dirac delta function Laplace transform Khan Academy.mp3
What is the Laplace transform? Actually, what is the Laplace transform of just the plain vanilla delta function? Well, in this case, we have c is equal to 0 and f of t is equal to 1. It's just a constant term. So if we do that, then the Laplace transform of this thing is just going to be e to the minus 0 times s times ...
Laplace transform of the dirac delta function Laplace transform Khan Academy.mp3
It's just a constant term. So if we do that, then the Laplace transform of this thing is just going to be e to the minus 0 times s times 1, which is just equal to 1. So the Laplace transform of our delta function is 1, which is a nice, clean thing to find out. Then if we wanted to just figure out the Laplace transform ...

Let's keep building our table of Laplace transforms. And now we'll do a fairly hairy problem, so I'm going to have to focus so that I don't make a careless mistake. But let's say we want to take the Laplace transform, and this is a useful one. Actually, all of them we've done so far are useful. I'll tell you when we st...
L{sin(at)}) - transform of sin(at) Laplace transform Differential Equations Khan Academy.mp3
Actually, all of them we've done so far are useful. I'll tell you when we start doing not so useful ones. Let's say we want to take the Laplace transform of the sine of some constant times t. Well, our definition of the Laplace transform that says that it's the improper integral. Remember, the Laplace transform is just...
