Laplace transform of f(x)=tanx where tanx has limit of infinity is

  • A.cosθ(w/(s²+w²))
  • B.sinθ(s/(s²+w²))
  • C.1/s
  • D.no Laplace

Answer: D

A function has a Laplace transform only if the integral

\[ \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-st}f(t)\,dt \]

converges. That requires \( f \) to be piecewise continuous and of exponential order.

\( \tan t \) has infinite discontinuities at \( t = \tfrac{\pi}{2}, \tfrac{3\pi}{2}, \ldots \), where it blows up faster than any exponential can damp. The integral diverges, so no Laplace transform exists.
