Work Step by Step

Given: $y''-2y'=30e^{-3t}$ and $y(0)=1\\ y'(0)=0$ We take the Laplace transform of both sides of the differential equation to obtain: $[s^2Y(x)-sy(0)-y'(0)]-2[sY(x)-y(0)]=\frac{30}{s+3}$ Substituting in the given initial values and rearranging terms yields $Y(s)(s^2-2s)-s+2=\frac{30}{s+3}$ That is, $Y(s)(s^2-2s)=\frac{30}{s+3}+s-2=\frac{s^2+s+24}{s+3}$ Thus, we have solved for the Laplace transform of y(t). To find y itself, we must take the inverse Laplace transform. We first decompose the right-hand side into partial fractions to obtain: $Y(s)=\frac{s^2+s+24}{(s+3)(s^2-2s)}=\frac{2}{s+3}-\frac{4}{s}+\frac{3}{s-2}$ We recognize the terms on the right-hand side as being the Laplace transform of appropriate exponential functions. Taking the inverse Laplace transform yields: $y(t)=2e^{-3t}-4+3e^{2t}$
