Write and . The zero initial data and the Laplace transform of a derivative give . Transforming the forcing with part (b),ThereforePart (b) with gives . Comparing coefficients and using uniqueness of the Laplace transform,As a direct check, , so both initial values vanish. Differentiating once more cancels the terms in , leaving as required. This also checks the factor in the inverse transform.
