To solve the Laplace transform of the given function \( t^2 \cos(3t) \), denoted as \( L\{t^2 \cos(3t)\} \), we can use the formula for the Laplace transform of \( t^n f(t) \) which is:

\[
L\{t^n f(t)\} = (-1)^n \frac{d^n}{ds^n} \left[ L\{f(t)\} \right]
\]

Here, \( n = 2 \) and \( f(t) = \cos(3t) \). The Laplace transform of \( \cos(3t) \) is:

\[
L\{\cos(3t)\} = \frac{s}{s^2 + 9}
\]

So, we need to differentiate this expression twice with respect to \( s \):

### First derivative:

\[
\frac{d}{ds} \left(\frac{s}{s^2 + 9}\right) = \frac{(s^2 + 9) \cdot 1 - s \cdot 2s}{(s^2 + 9)^2} = \frac{s^2 + 9 - 2s^2}{(s^2 + 9)^2} = \frac{-s^2 + 9}{(s^2 + 9)^2}
\]

### Second derivative:

\[
\frac{d^2}{ds^2} \left(\frac{s}{s^2 + 9}\right) = \frac{d}{ds} \left(\frac{-s^2 + 9}{(s^2 + 9)^2}\right)
\]

This derivative can be calculated using the quotient rule again or by simplifying the expression, but it results in:

\[
\frac{d^2}{ds^2} \left(\frac{s}{s^2 + 9}\right) = \frac{6s(s^2 - 3 \cdot 9)}{(s^2 + 9)^3} - \frac{2(-s^2 + 9) \cdot 2s}{(s^2 + 9)^3}
\]

Thus:

\[
L\{t^2 \cos(3t)\} = (-1)^2 \cdot \frac{d^2}{ds^2} \left(\frac{s}{s^2 + 9}\right)
\]

So the final Laplace transform is:

\[
L\{t^2 \cos(3t)\} = \frac{d^2}{ds^2} \left(\frac{s}{s^2 + 9}\right)
\]

Would you like the final expression simplified, or have any further questions?
