Answer

$x(t)=2t+\frac{t^3}{3}$

Work Step by Step

Taking the Laplace transform of both sides of the given differential equation and imposing the initial conditions yields: $L[x(t)]=\frac{2}{s^2}+L[\sin (t) * x(t)]\\ =\frac{2}{s^2}+L[\sin(t)].L[x(t)]\\ =\frac{2}{s^2}+\frac{L[x(t)]}{s^2+1}$ then $L[x(t)]=\frac{2(s^2+1)}{s^4}=2(\frac{1}{s^2}+\frac{1}{s^4})=\frac{2}{s^2}+\frac{2}{s^4}$ The general solution to the given equation is: $x(t)=2t+\frac{t^3}{3}$
