The convolution of f and g is defined as the integral of the product of the two functions as follows: (f * g)(t) = ∫[f(t − τ)g(τ)]dτ = ∫[f(τ)g(t − τ)]dτ. If F(s) = L(f(t)) and G(s) = L(g(t)), then we have L−1(F(s)G(s)) = (f * g)(t). Compute the inverse Laplace transform of each function of s. (a) F(s) = 4 / s^5 (b) F(s) = (s + 8) / (s^2 + 4) (c) F(s) = s / [(s^2 + a^2)] (Hint: Use the convolution theorem and trigonometric identities)

The convolution of the functions f(t) and g(t) is defined as follows: (f*g)(t) = ∫₀ᵗ f(t - x)g(x)dx. Compute the convolution for the following pairs of functions: (a) f(t) = t² and g(t) = t³ (b) f(t) = t and g(t) = cos t (c) f(t) = e^{at} and g(t) = e^{bt}.
