Solving differential equation initial value problems with step functions as forcing functions

In general, to solve the initial value problem, we’ll follow these steps: 1. Make sure the forcing function is being shifted correctly, and identify the function being shifted. 2. Apply a Laplace transform to each part of the differential equation, substituting initial conditions to simplify. 3. Solve for Y(s). 4. Apply an inverse transform to find y(t).
