2. **Inverse Laplace Transform (a):**
The Laplace transform is given by $$C(f) = \frac{2(e^{-s} - e^{-3s})}{s^2 - 4}.$$
Recall the inverse Laplace transform formula for shifts:
$$\mathcal{L}^{-1}\{e^{-as}F(s)\} = u(t-a)f(t-a),$$
where $u(t)$ is the Heaviside step function.
Also, $$\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{s^2 - 4}\right\} = \frac{\sinh(2t)}{2}$$ because $s^2 - 4 = (s-2)(s+2)$.
Rewrite:
$$C(f) = 2\left(e^{-s} - e^{-3s}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{s^2 - 4}.$$
By linearity and shifting:
$$f(t) = 2\left[u(t-1)\frac{\sinh(2(t-1))}{2} - u(t-3)\frac{\sinh(2(t-3))}{2}\right] = u(t-1)\sinh(2(t-1)) - u(t-3)\sinh(2(t-3)).$$
---
3. **Even Periodic Extension (b):**
(i) The original function $f(t)$ is defined on $[0,2]$ with points $(0,2)$, $(1,1)$, $(2,0)$.
To find the even periodic extension with period $4$:
- For $t \in [0,2]$, $f(t)$ as given.
- For $t \in [-2,0]$, define $f(t) = f(-t)$ (even extension).
- Extend periodically with period $4$ so that $f(t+4) = f(t)$ for all $t$.
(ii) Sketch for $0 \leq t \leq 5$:
- On $[0,2]$, plot points $(0,2)$ to $(1,1)$ to $(2,0)$.
- On $[2,4]$, reflect the shape from $[0,2]$ symmetrically about $t=2$.
- On $[4,5]$, continue the pattern from $[0,1]$.

4. **Conservative Vector Field (c):**
(i) To check if $F = zi + yj + xk$ is conservative, verify if curl $F = \mathbf{0}$:
$$\nabla \times F = \left|\begin{array}{ccc}
\mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\
\frac{\partial}{\partial x} & \frac{\partial}{\partial y} & \frac{\partial}{\partial z} \\
z & y & x
\end{array}\right| = \left(\frac{\partial x}{\partial y} - \frac{\partial y}{\partial z}\right)\mathbf{i} - \left(\frac{\partial x}{\partial x} - \frac{\partial z}{\partial z}\right)\mathbf{j} + \left(\frac{\partial y}{\partial x} - \frac{\partial z}{\partial y}\right)\mathbf{k}.$$
Calculate each component:
- $\frac{\partial x}{\partial y} = 0$, $\frac{\partial y}{\partial z} = 0$ so $i$-component is $0$.
- $\frac{\partial x}{\partial x} = 1$, $\frac{\partial z}{\partial z} = 1$ so $j$-component is $-(1-1) = 0$.
- $\frac{\partial y}{\partial x} = 0$, $\frac{\partial z}{\partial y} = 0$ so $k$-component is $0$.
Thus, $\nabla \times F = \mathbf{0}$, so $F$ is conservative.
(ii) Work done by $F$ along $\mathbf{r}(t)$ is
$$W = \int_C F \cdot d\mathbf{r} = \int_{-1}^1 F(\mathbf{r}(t)) \cdot \mathbf{r}'(t) dt.$$
Calculate $\mathbf{r}'(t) = 3\mathbf{i} - 5\mathbf{j} + 2t\mathbf{k}$.
Evaluate $F(\mathbf{r}(t)) = z\mathbf{i} + y\mathbf{j} + x\mathbf{k} = t^2\mathbf{i} + (-5t)\mathbf{j} + 3t\mathbf{k}$.
Dot product:
$$F(\mathbf{r}(t)) \cdot \mathbf{r}'(t) = t^2 \cdot 3 + (-5t)(-5) + 3t \cdot 2t = 3t^2 + 25t + 6t^2 = 9t^2 + 25t.$$
Integrate:
$$W = \int_{-1}^1 (9t^2 + 25t) dt = \left[3t^3 + \frac{25}{2} t^2\right]_{-1}^1 = \left(3 + \frac{25}{2}\right) - \left(-3 + \frac{25}{2}\right) = 6.$$
