Find the inverse Laplace transform of $F(s)=\frac{5e^{−6s}}{s^2+4}$

Question

Find the inverse Laplace transform of $F(s)=\dfrac{5e^{−6s}}{s^2+4}$

$f(t)=$ __________?

Here is my work: $L{(5/2) \sin(2t)} = 5/(s^2 + 4)$, we have by the shifting theorem $f(t) = (5/2) \sin(2(t - 6)) u(t - 6)$

Please help me with the correct solution. Thanks

Answer 1

You have already gotten the correct solution if by $u(x)$ you mean Heaviside unit step function $\theta(x)$.
If you want to eliminate Heaviside function you could as well write $$f(t)=\left\{\begin{matrix}0,&\ \text{if}~x<6\\ \frac{5}{2}\sin(2(t-6)),&\ \text{if}~x>6\end{matrix}\right.$$
