Problem:
Find the $\mathscr{L}^{-1}\{H(s)\}$ of the following function:
$$ H(s) = \dfrac{1}{s^2+5s+6} $$
Answer:
First we use partial fractions to rewrite the fraction.
\begin{align*}
\dfrac{1}{s^2+5s+6} &= \dfrac{A}{s+3} + \dfrac{B}{s+2} \\
1 &= A(s+2) + B(s+3) \\
\end{align*}
If we set $s = -2$ we have: $1 = A(-3+2)$. This gives us: $A = -1$. We also know that:
$$ A + B = 0$$
Hence we have $B = 1$.
\begin{align*}
\dfrac{1}{s^2+5s+6} &= \dfrac{1}{s+2} - \dfrac{1}{s+3} \\
f(t) &= e^{-2t} - e^{-3t} \\
\end{align*}
However, the book gets:
$$ 2 + 5e^{5t} $$
I would like to think that I am right. Am I?
I looked up the answer in the book incorrectly. The book gets:
$$ e^{-2t} - e^{-3t} $$
which matches my answer.
