Work Step by Step

Given: $y''+5y'+4y=20\sin 2t$ and $y(0)=-1\\ y'(0)=2$ We take the Laplace transform of both sides of the differential equation to obtain: $[s^2Y(x)-sy(0)-y'(0)]+5[sY(s)-y(0)]+4Y(s)=\frac{20\times2}{s^2+4}=\frac{40}{s^2+4}$ Substituting in the given initial values and rearranging terms yields $Y(s)(s^2+5s+4)+s-2+5=\frac{40}{s^2+4}$ That is, $Y(s)(s^2+5s+4)=\frac{40}{s^2+4}-s-3=\frac{-s^3-3s^-4s+28}{s^2+4}$ 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: $Y(s)=\frac{-s^3-3s^-4s+28}{(s^2+4)(s+4)(s+1)}=-\frac{1}{s+4}+\frac{2}{s+1}-\frac{2s}{s^2+4}$ We recognize the terms on the right-hand side as being the Laplace transform of appropriate exponential functions. Taking the inverse Laplace transform yields: $y(t)=-e^{-t}+2e^{-t}-2\cos 2t$
