Is the inverse of the Laplace transform unique?

I've been wondering whether the Laplace transform is injective. Suppose I have that
\int^{∞}_{0}e^{-st}f(t)dt = \int^{∞}_{0}e^{-st}g(t)dt for all s for which both integrals converge. Then is it true that f(t) = g(t) ? If so, any hints on how I might prove it?

Thanks!

That would mean that
\int_0^\infty e^{-st}(f(t)- g(t))dt= 0

Does that necessarily mean that f(t)= g(t)?

I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
