Integrals Problems

Please, help me solve these problems without using Laplace. So on http://mathworld.wolfram.com/DeltaFunction.html I found these fundamenetal properties that I thought I could use to solve the problems, but I'm not sure if I applied them correctly. Here is my work so far for part a, but I don't know how to approach part b because the bounds are different. Thank you in advance.

You seem to be going in the right direction. To my understanding, the limits of integration do not have to be the same. The only requirement is that the limits enclose the "position" of the impulse. For example: $$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(t)\delta(t-2)dt = f(2) $$ This encloses the "position" of the impulse $$\int_1^3 f(t)\delta(t-2)dt = f(2) $$ This does not $$\int_3^4 f(t)\delta(t-2)dt = 0 $$
