5. If f (t ) is continuous and is of exponential

order O ( e at ) at t → ∞ and f ′ (t ) is piecewise

continuous in any finite interval of t, then
show that the Laplace transform of f ′ (t ) exists
for Ue p > a and is given by
L [ f ′ ( t )] = pF ( p ) − f ( 0 ) , F (p ) being the Laplace
transform of f (t ) with parameter p. 10
