Answer

$$\mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{F(s)\right\}=2t^2e^t$$

Work Step by Step

We see that $\dfrac{4}{(s-3)^3}$ most closely resembles the form of of #11 in Table 6.2.1. Let $n=2$ for that entry and let $a=1$. Then, we need to do some algebra so that the numerator is equivalent to $n!$, or in this case the numerator is equal to $2!=2$. \begin{align*} \mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{\dfrac{4}{(s-1)^3}\right\}&=2\cdot \mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{\dfrac{2}{(s-1)^{2+1}}\right\}\\ \\ &=2\cdot \mathcal{L}^{-1}\left\{\dfrac{(2)!}{(s-1)^{2+1}}\right\}\\ \\ &=2\cdot t^{2}e^{1t}\\ \\ &=\boxed{\color{blue}{2t^2e^t}}\\ \end{align*}
