Consider a delayed function of the form \( f(t) = (t-4)^{2}u(t-4) \). Find its Laplace Transform.
💡 Hint: Think about how you can relate this to the basic functions you know.
Analyze a control system with a delayed input defined as \( f(t) = sin(t-\frac{\pi}{2})u(t-\frac{\pi}{2}) \). Calculate its Laplace Transform.
💡 Hint: Refer to standard Laplace Transforms for sine functions.
