and you will notice that the CAS default variable X in the equation writer
screen replaces the variable s in this definition. Therefore, when using the
function LAP you get back a function of X, which is the Laplace transform of
f(X).

Example 2 – Determine the inverse Laplace transform of F(s) = sin(s). Use:

‘1/(X+1)^2’

` ILAP


The calculator returns the result: ‘X/EXP(X)’, meaning that L

Function FOURIER

Function FOURIER provides the coefficient c

n

of the complex-form of the

Fourier series given the function f(t) and the value of n. The function FOURIER
requires you to store the value of the period (T) of a T-periodic function into
the CAS variable PERIOD before calling the function. The function FOURIER is
available in the DERIV sub-menu within the CALC menu (

„Ö).
