### Problem Statement
Compute the Laplace transform of the given function:
\[ \mathcal{L} \{(2t - 3) \mu(t - 2)\} \]
Where \(\mu(t - 2)\) is the Heaviside step function.
### Choices
a. \( \frac{e^{2s}(2 + s)}{s^2} \)
b. \( \frac{2e^{-s}}{s^2} + \frac{e^{-s}}{s} \)
c. \( \frac{e^{-2s}(2 + s)}{s^2} \)
d. \( \frac{e^{-2s}}{s^2} - \frac{e^{-s}}{s} \)
---
Explanation:
- The given function \( (2t - 3) \mu(t - 2) \) includes a Heaviside step function \(\mu(t - 2)\), which shifts the function by 2 units.
- The task is to find the Laplace transform of this piecewise function.
Each option provided represents a possible expression for the Laplace transform of the given function using different constants and terms.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Ff9cdbf72-d206-4fdd-bded-1942fceb9e15%2Fa21f3afc-0c48-489f-b6d2-4d00fee06f37%2Fc1n075d_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
