The function can be described using Unit Step Functions, since the signal is turned on at t = 0 and turned off at t = π, as follows:
f(t) = sin t • [u(t) − u(t − π)]
Now for the Laplace Transform:
{sin t • [u(t) − u(t − π)]} =
{sin t • u(t)} −
{sin t • u(t − π)}
Now, we need to express the second term all in terms of (t − π).
From trigonometry, we have:
sin(t − π) = -sin t
So we can write:
{sin t • u(t)} −
{sin t • u(t − π)}
=
{sin t • u(t)} +
{sin(t − π) • u(t − π)}
