The Laplace transform of a continuous function over the interval \(\displaystyle [0,∞)\) is defined by \(\displaystyle F(s)=∫^∞_0e^{−sx}f(x)dx\) (see the Student Project). This definition is used to solve some important initial-value problems in differential equations, as discussed later. The domain of F is the set of all real numbers s such that the improper integral converges. Find the Laplace transform F of each of the following functions and give the domain of F.
