Homework Equations


Laplace and then inverse laplace.

The Attempt at a Solution


Laplace of U(t-to) = 1/s e^(-tos)
x(t)-->X(s)
Laplace inverse
1/s means integration.
e^(-tos) means delay on x(t) by to.
I think answer should be C
Book answer is D.
How am I wrong?

I'm struggling to understand it. Is book answer right? I got an exam on on 10th feb on 10 engineering subjects, thus am rushing through the questions and answers.
 
I replaced x(t) by t2 and got the answer as C.
First I laplace transformed x(t) as 2!/s3
Laplace of u(t-t0) = e-t0s
Multiplied laplace
Used inverse transform
to get:
(t-to)3 the whole divided by 3
And used trial and error method to see which option matches this.
C is right answer.
