Homework Statement



Hi,

I am wondering how to Laplace transform this expression

f(t)=\int^{\tau}_{0} g(\tau)f'(t-\tau)d\tau
or more precisely
f(t)=\int^{\tau}_{0} sin(8\tau)f'(t-\tau)d\tau

The f'(t-\tau) gets me confused.

Homework Equations



\int^{\tau}_{0} f(t-\tau)g(\tau)d\tau
and the laplace transform of that is:
F(s)G(s)

The Attempt at a Solution


I have no idea how to proceed.

Maybe
F(s)=8/(s^2+8^2)(sF(s)-f(0))

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
