The function $$f\left( x \right) = 2{x^3} - 3{x^2} - 36x + 2\,\,\,$$ has its maxima at

A hydraulic structure has four gates which operate independently. The probability of failure of each gate is $$0.2.$$ Given that gate $$1$$ has failed, the probability that both gates $$2$$ and $$3$$ will fail is

Biotransformation of an organic compound having concentration $$(x)$$ can be modeled using an ordinary differential equation $$\,{{d\,x} \over {dt}} + k\,{x^2} = 0,$$ where $$k$$ is the reaction rate constant. If $$x=a$$ at $$t=0$$ then solution of the equation is

A delayed unit step function is defined as $$$u\left( {t - a} \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {0,} & {t < a} \cr {1,} & {t \ge a} \cr } } \right.$$$

Its Laplace transform is ____________.
