Use Laplace Transforms to solve the Volterra integral equation: \( f(t) = \cos(t) + \int_{0}^{t} \sin(t - \tau)f(\tau)d\tau \).
💡 Hint: Focus on identifying the correct kernel and solving dimensions carefully.
Derive the solution for the integral equation: \( f(t) = 2 + \int_{0}^{t} (t - \tau)^2 f(\tau) d\tau \) using transformations.
💡 Hint: Make sure to handle the squaring in the kernel when applying transformations.
