Laplace transform of exponential distributed random varibale

Let $Tsim Exp(lambda)$. I want to calculate the laplace transform
$$E[e^{-delta T}]$$



So far I get $$E[e^{-delta T}]=int_0^infty e^{-delta x}lambda e^{-lambda x}dx=lambdaint_0^infty e^{-(delta+lambda) x}dx=lambdacdotbigg[-frac{1}{delta+lambda}e^{-(delta+lambda)x}bigg]_0^infty=frac{lambda}{delta+lambda}$$



Is this right?
