Cases inside tabular environment with left aligned column

I want to have equations in a column of a table, using the amsmath cases option, but where the column is left aligned. The MWE below shows an example of the equations that I need in the column, with the second table showing the layout I am after.



What I found online suggests you need the p{} option in order to include the cases option from amsmath. The array package has been suggested as a way to get the left aligned in the second column, but I cannot get it working as I expected it to.



Appreciate any pointers to what I am doing wrong.

begin{tabular}{| c>{raggedrightarraybackslash}p{10cm} |} hline
Option 1 & [M_f(t) = begin{cases}
M_f(0) & t leq tau \
M_f^dag & t > tau
end{cases} ]\ hline
Option 2 & [ M_f(t) = begin{cases}
left[M_f^dag - M_f(0)right]left[frac{exp(-0.25 t) - 1}{exp(-0.25 tau) - 1}right] + M_f(0) & t leq tau \
M_f^dag & t> tau
end{cases} ] \ hline
end{tabular}
caption{The equations I need}
label{a label}
end{table}


begin{table}
begin{tabular}{| l l |} hline
Option 1 & $x^2 + 3$ \ hline
Option 2 & $sin(x) + text{a much longer equation than the others to show the formatting}$ \ hline
end{tabular}
caption{The layout I want}
label{a 2nd label}
end{table}
