SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on deriving the Laplace transform L(f) from L(1) using the frequency division rule. Specifically, for the function f(t) = t^2, the relevant formulas are { \cal L} \{ tf(t) \} = (-1) F^{'}(s) and { \cal L} \{ t^n f(t) \} = (-1)^n F^{(n)}(s), where { \cal L} \{ f(t) \} = F(s). The user Marlon expresses confusion about where to start but is directed to the rules necessary for the derivation.

for the following question:
let f(t)=t^2. derive L(f) from L(1)

my problem:
i have no clue where to start...

You need to apply the "frequency division" rule :

[tex]{ \cal L} \{ tf(t) \} = (-1) F^{'}(s)[/tex]

[tex]{ \cal L} \{ t^nf(t) \} = (-1)^n F^{(n)}(s)[/tex]

where

[tex]{ \cal L} \{ f(t) \} = F(s)[/tex]

and in this case

[tex]f(t) = 1[/tex]
