Laplace transform (Using tables) of following function, is this correct?
4 H ( t 3 )   . t 2
For my answer I used the the t-shift theorem (using tables) and I got
4 e 3 s . 2 s 3
I have a feeling this isn't correct.

We need to write t 2 in terms of t−3 to use the Shifting Property or Laplace Transform definition (integral instead of tables).
We have
t 2 = ( ( t 3 ) + 3 ) 2 = ( t 3 ) 2 + 6 ( t 3 ) + 9
Hence, we can write
4 H ( t 3 ) t 2 = 4 H ( t 3 ) ( ( t 3 ) 2 + 6 ( t 3 ) + 9 )
Using those three pieces, we end up with
L (   4   H ( t 3 )   t 2 ) = 4 e 3 s ( 9 s 2 + 6 s + 2 ) s 3
