Homework Statement



Find f(t) for:

2\int_{0}^{t}f'(u)sin(9(t-u)du +5cos(9t), t\geq0

The Attempt at a Solution



F(s)=2\frac{9(sF(s)-f(0))}{s^2+81}+\frac{5s}{s^2+81}

At this point i don't know what to do with f(0) since there are no initial conditions.
What do I do with it?

It's just a constant that'll appear in your final answer. You'll have a term proportional to 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...
