   • Finding roots of equations

   Hint

   Think about its main purpose.

4. 4.

   True or False: The Laplace Transform makes solving differential equations more complex.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider how it transforms equations.

5. 5.

   Consider a function $f(t) = e^{-2t}$. Calculate its Laplace Transform and interpret its significance.

   Hint

   Use the Laplace Transform formula and consider the exponential decay.

6. 6.

   If given $f(t) = t^2$, compute the Laplace Transform and discuss how it simplifies integration in the time domain.

   Hint

   Remember the formula for transforming polynomials and apply it.
