I need to find:
$\int_0^\infty e^{-2t}tcos(t)dt$
Using Laplace transform.
The theorem that I'm supposed to use (I wasn't able to find the correct term in English):
Suppose $L[f(t)]=F(s).$ If $\frac{f(t)}{t}$ is an original, then $L[\frac{f(t)}{t}]=\int_s^\infty F(s)ds$.
I'm not sure how this applies here. The problems I've solved so far (and unfortunately haven't fully understood) had a distinct form of $\frac{f(t)}{t}$.
I'd be grateful if anyone could help point me to the right direction here.

$${\cal L}(\cos t)=\int_0^\infty e^{-st}\cos t\ dt=\dfrac{s}{s^2+1}$$ $${\cal L}(t\cos t)=\int_0^\infty e^{-st}t\cos t\ dt=-\left(\dfrac{s}{s^2+1}\right)'$$ then set $s=2$.
