Question

Laplace transform is used for the systems with:

(a) Initial conditions infinite

(b) Initial conditions zero

(c) Initial conditions finite

(d) Initial conditions equal to the initial input

The question was asked during a job interview.

I'd like to ask this question from Mathematical Preliminaries topic in division Stability in Frequency Domain of Control Systems

Answer 1

Correct answer is (b) Initial conditions zero

To explain I would say: By definition of the transfer function by Laplace transform the initial conditions of the systems are considered to be zero.
