ECE-202, Section 2

Find the one-sided Laplace transform of f (t)  cos(2 t   ) (t  2T )  sin(2 t   ) (2t  T ) for T >
0. Use the SIFTING property of the delta function and the DEFINITION of the Laplace Transform.

SOLUTION: From the definition of the Laplace Transform, whose lower limit is 0  , and the sifting
property of the delta function, the answer is
