Y = 12 because you multiply x by two to get x2, which is 30, and multiply y by two to get 12 - this is wrong, the answer is three, i did the math backwards
Answer
(a) 
(b) 
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
δ(t)
where δ(t) = unit impulse function
The Laplace transform of function f(t) is given as:

where a = ∞
=> 
where d(t) = δ(t)
=> 
Integrating, we have:
=> 
Inputting the boundary conditions t = a = ∞, t = 0:

(b) 
The Laplace transform of function f(t) is given as:



Integrating, we have:
![F(s) = [\frac{-e^{-(s + 1)t}} {s + 1} - \frac{4e^{-(s + 4)}}{s + 4} - \frac{(3(s + 1)t + 1)e^{-3(s + 1)t})}{9(s + 1)^2}] \left \{ {{a} \atop {0}} \right.](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=F%28s%29%20%3D%20%5B%5Cfrac%7B-e%5E%7B-%28s%20%2B%201%29t%7D%7D%20%7Bs%20%2B%201%7D%20-%20%5Cfrac%7B4e%5E%7B-%28s%20%2B%204%29%7D%7D%7Bs%20%2B%204%7D%20-%20%5Cfrac%7B%283%28s%20%2B%201%29t%20%2B%201%29e%5E%7B-3%28s%20%2B%201%29t%7D%29%7D%7B9%28s%20%2B%201%29%5E2%7D%5D%20%5Cleft%20%5C%7B%20%7B%7Ba%7D%20%5Catop%20%7B0%7D%7D%20%5Cright.)
Inputting the boundary condition, t = a = ∞, t = 0:

Answer:15/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello there! the winning time is 59.625 seconds.
This is the person who completed the lowest amount of time, meaning they finished first. The others too longer so they finished later, meaning they didn't win.
I hope this was helpful and have a great day! :)
