= Solution

For $a>0$, the <Heaviside step function> vanishes before $a$ and is one afterwards. For $\operatorname{Re}p>0$,
$$
\boxed{\mathcal L[H(t-a)](p)=\int_a^\infty e^{-pt}\,dt=\frac{e^{-ap}}p.}
$$
The value assigned at the single jump point does not affect this <Laplace transform>. The positive real part ensures convergence at infinity.
