Find the LaPlace transform of the function.

Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 2.** *(3 points)*
Find the Laplace transform of each of the following functions:
(a) \( f(t) = (t^2 + 1) \mathcal{U}(t - 3) \)
In this problem, you are asked to calculate the Laplace transform of a given function. The function \( f(t) \) is composed of a polynomial part \((t^2 + 1)\) and a unit step function \(\mathcal{U}(t - 3)\), which shifts the response of the polynomial starting at \(t = 3\).
The unit step function \(\mathcal{U}(t - 3)\) equals 0 for \(t < 3\) and 1 for \(t \geq 3\). Therefore, the expression \((t^2 + 1)\mathcal{U}(t - 3)\) describes a function that is zero before \(t = 3\) and follows the curve \(t^2 + 1\) after \(t = 3\).
To solve for the Laplace transform, use properties of the Laplace transform, such as the shifting theorem, to handle the influence of the unit step function.
