### Periodic Function and Its Laplace Transform

**Objective:** Use Theorem 7.4.3 to find the Laplace transform \( F(s) \) of the given periodic function.

#### Given Function and Incorrect Transform

The given function is a meander function, a type of periodic function that alternates between 1 and -1 at regular intervals. 

#### Provided (Incorrect) Laplace Transform

\[ F(s) = \frac{1 - e^{-9s}}{s \left(1 + e^{-9s}\right)} \]

The provided transform is indicated to be incorrect with a red cross.

#### Graphical Representation

- **x-axis (t):** Represents time.
- **y-axis (f(t)):** Represents the function values which are 1 and -1.
- Intervals:
  - At \( t = a \) the function jumps from 1 to -1.
  - At \( t = 2a \) the function rises from -1 to 1.
  - At \( t = 3a \) it drops from 1 to -1.
  - The cycle repeats periodically.

This visual description illustrates the periodic nature of the function:

1. The function \( f(t) \) starts at 1 for time t=0.
2. When \( t \) reaches \( a \), \( f(t) \) shifts to -1 and remains there until \( t \) reaches \( 2a \).
3. This pattern continues, creating a rectangular waveform with period \( 2a \).

Understanding and applying Theorem 7.4.3 correctly can help derive the accurate Laplace transform for such periodic functions.
