Answer

$x_1=\sin 2t\\ x_2=\cos 2t$

Work Step by Step

Taking the Laplace transform of both sides of the given differential equation and imposing the initial conditions yields: $\frac{dx_1}{dt}=2x_2\\ \rightarrow sL(x_1)=2(s_2)\\ sL(x_1)-2(x_2)=0$ (1) and $\frac{dx_2}{dt}=-2x_1\\ sL(x_2)+2(x_1)=1$ (2) Substitute $sL(x_1)=2(s_2)$ to (2): $s[\frac{s}{2}L(x_1)]+2L(x_1)=1$ Hence, $L(x_1)=\frac{2}{s^2+4} \rightarrow x_1=\sin 2t\\ \rightarrow x_2=\cos 2t$
