Concept:

The Laplace transform of a general exponential signal is given by:

\(L[e^{-at}]\longleftrightarrow \frac{1}{s+a}\)

where 'a' is any positive integer.

Calculation:

Given:

\(\frac{1}{{\left( {s + 1} \right)\left( {s - 2} \right)}}\)

\(\frac{1}{{\left( {s + 1} \right)\left( {s - 2} \right)}} = \frac{A}{{\left( {s - 2} \right)}} + \frac{B}{{\left( {s + 1} \right)}} = \frac{1}{3}\left\{ {\frac{1}{{s - 2}} + \frac{{ - 1}}{{s + 1}}} \right\}\)

\({L^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{{\left( {s + 1} \right)\left( {s - 2} \right)}}} \right) = {L^{ - 1}}\left\{ {\frac{1}{3}\left( {\frac{1}{{s - 2}} - \frac{1}{{s + 1}}} \right)} \right\} = \frac{{{e^{2t}} - {e^{ - t}}}}{3}\)
