Homework Statement



Find the Laplace transform of L{texp(9t)sin(2t)}

Homework Equations


(-1)^n F^n (s)


The Attempt at a Solution


I am not sure how to start it. The exp(9t) term throws me off. Usually I would just do (-1) F'(s) where F(s) is the laplace of sin(2t). But do I take the derivative of exp(9t) in addition to sin(2t)? Multiply them together?
Thanks in advance!

You can start by using the definition of Laplace transform:
[tex]\int_0^\infty f(t)e^{-st}dt[/tex]

Here, [itex]f(t)= t e^{9t} sin(2t)[/itex] so that integral is
[tex]\int_0^t te^{(9- s)t} sin(2t) dt[/tex]

Integration by parts should do that. The obvious choice is u= t, [itex]dv= e^{(9-s)t}sin(2t)dt[/itex] and you will have to do another integration by parts to find v.
