Default complex inversion formula of laplace transforms - branch point
this is a problem of using hte complex inversion formula to solve the inverse laplace transform of...

\mathcal{L}^{-1}(e^{\frac{-sx}{\sqrt{s^2 +1}}})

the solutions given to us say that the bromich contour used must have a branch point at s = -1 ... i have no idea why
