We assume you want to find the inverse transform of s/(s^2 +3s -4). This can be written in partial fraction form as
(4/5)/(s+4) + (1/5)/(s-1)
which can be found in a table of transforms to be the transform of
(4/5)e^(-4t) + (1/5)e^t
_____
There are a number of ways to determine the partial fractions. They all start with factoring the denominator.
s^2 +3x -4 = (s+4)(s-1)
After that, you can postulate the final form and determine the values of the coefficients that make it so. For example:
A/(s+4) + B/(s-1) = ((A+B)s + (4B-A))/(s^2 +3x -4)
This gives rise to two equations:
(A+B) = 1
(4B-A) = 0
The pool can hold 65.84 ft³ of water
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
Shape of pool = octagonal
Base area of the pool = 22 ft²
Depth of the pool = 3 feet
Volume, V = ?
We know:
Area of octagon = 2 ( 1 + √2) a²
22 ft² = 2 ( 1 + √2 ) a²
a² = 
a² = 4.55
a = 2.132 ft
Side length of the octagon is 2.132 ft
We know:
Volume of octagon = 
Therefore, the pool can hold 65.84 ft³ of water
60 degrees because vertical angles are congruent if you move line y 5 degrees clockwise then you are adding 5+55=60 and since 1 and 3are congruent 3=60 degrees
