Inverse Laplace Transform Concepts

The video tutorial explains how to find the inverse Laplace transform of a given function. It begins with setting up the problem and performing partial fraction decomposition. The process involves expanding the equation and equating coefficients to solve for constants. Once the constants are determined, the inverse Laplace transform is applied using the property of linearity and reference tables. The final result is presented as a function of time.
