SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the Laplace transform of the functions $\sin^{2}(4t)$ and $\sin(3t - \frac{1}{2})$. The correct Laplace transform for $\sin^{2}(4t)$ is derived using the double angle identity, resulting in $\mathscr{L}\{\sin^{2}(4t)\} = \frac{32}{s^3 + 64s}$. For the second problem, the participant correctly applies the time translation property of Laplace transforms, leading to the expression $\frac{3\cos(0.5) - s\sin(0.5)}{s^2 + 9}$, which is confirmed as accurate.
