Final answer:
To find the Laplace transform using the given definition, substitute the function into the integral and simplify.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Laplace transform of a function f(t) using the definition is given by the integral:
y{f(t)} = ∫[0 to ∞] e^(-st) * f(t) dt
To find the Laplace transform of f(t) = 1 - t, we substitute this function into the integral:
y{f(t)} = ∫[0 to ∞] e^(-st) * (1 - t) dt
Next, we simplify and integrate the expression to find the Laplace transform.
