Solving Laplace Transform: 2\int_{0}^{t}f'(u)sin(9(t-u)du +5cos(9t)

In summary, the Laplace Transform is a mathematical tool used to solve differential equations by transforming a function of time into a function of complex frequency. To solve it, the function of time is multiplied by e^-st and then integrated from 0 to infinity. The integral is a key step in the process, and the sine and cosine functions represent the frequency of the original function. The Laplace Transform has many applications in various fields, including engineering, physics, and signal processing.

Homework Statement



Find f(t) for:

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

The Attempt at a Solution



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

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).
