Problem 4

Use the Laplace transform to solve each of the foltowing equations:
(a) $f^{\prime}(x)+2 f(x)=x$ where $f(0)=0$
(b) $f^{\prime}(x)-f(x)=e^{-x}$ where $f(0)=-1$
(c) $f^{\prime \prime}(x)+4 f^{\prime}(x)+4 f(x)=e^{-2 x}$ where $f(0)=0$ and $f^{\prime}(0)=0$
(d) $4 f^{\circ}(x)-9 f(x)=-18$ where $f(0)=0$ and $f^{\prime}(0)=0$
