Work Step by Step

We are given that $y'+2y=2u_1(t)$ and $y(0)=1$ We take the Laplace transform of both sides of the differential equation to obtain: $[sY(s)-y(0)]+2Y(s)=\frac{2e^{-s}}{s}$ Substituting in the given initial values and rearranging terms yields $Y(s)(s^2+2)-1=\frac{2e^{-s}}{s}\\ Y(s)(s^2+2)=\frac{2e^{-s}}{s}+1$ 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: $Y(s)=\frac{2e^{-s}}{s(s+2)}+\frac{1}{s+2}\\ =e^{-s}(\frac{1}{s}-\frac{s}{s+2})+\frac{1}{s+2}$ Now,$f(t)= L^{-1}[e^{-s}(\frac{1}{s}-\frac{s}{s+2})+\frac{1}{s+2}]\\ =(1-e^{-2(t-1)})u_1(t)+e^{-2t}$
