Laplace Transform 9665A9
1. **Problem:** Find the Laplace Transform of the function \( f(t) = e^{-4t} \cos 3t + e^{-3t} t^3 \).
2. **Formula and rules:**
- The Laplace Transform of \( e^{at} \cos(bt) \) is \( \frac{s - a}{(s - a)^2 + b^2} \).
- The Laplace Transform of \( t^n e^{at} \) is \( \frac{n!}{(s - a)^{n+1}} \).
3. **Apply the formula to each term:**
- For \( e^{-4t} \cos 3t \), here \( a = -4 \) and \( b = 3 \), so
$$\mathcal{L}\{e^{-4t} \cos 3t\} = \frac{s - (-4)}{(s + 4)^2 + 3^2} = \frac{s + 4}{(s + 4)^2 + 9}.$$
- For \( e^{-3t} t^3 \), here \( a = -3 \) and \( n = 3 \), so
$$\mathcal{L}\{t^3 e^{-3t}\} = \frac{3!}{(s + 3)^4} = \frac{6}{(s + 3)^4}.$$
4. **Combine the results:**
$$\boxed{\mathcal{L}\{f(t)\} = \frac{s + 4}{(s + 4)^2 + 9} + \frac{6}{(s + 3)^4}}.$$
This is the Laplace Transform of the given function \( f(t) \).
