Solve Laplace Transform for sqrt(t/pi)cos(5t)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The Laplace transform of the function sqrt(t/pi)cos(5t) can be derived using the known transform L(cos(5t)/(pi*t)^0.5) = exp(-5/s)/sqrt(s). The discussion highlights the importance of the convolution theorem in solving this problem, as the user attempts to relate the transforms of sqrt(t/pi) and cos(5t). The correct application of these concepts leads to the solution of the Laplace transform for the given function.

Homework Statement


(1 pt) Given that

L(cos(5t)/(pi*t)^.5)=exp(-5/s)/sqrt(s)

find the Laplace transform of .

sqrt(t/pi)cos(5t)



Homework Equations


I honestly have no idea. There is the integral of f(t)exp(-st) though


The Attempt at a Solution



Ive tried many reasonings. One, I thought that maybe finding the laplace trans of sqrt(t/pi) and replace 1/sqrt(s) with that because I know 1/sqrt(s) is the transform pof 1/sqrt(pi*t). However this is wrong. Can someone give me any pointers? this is the only problem i can't solve in my set!
