Work Step by Step

We are given that $y''+y'-6y=30u_1(t)e^{-(t-1)}$ and $y(0)=3\\ y'(0)=-4$ We take the Laplace transform of both sides of the differential equation to obtain: $[s^2Y(s)-sY(0)-Y'(0)]+[sY(s)-y(0)]-6Y(s)=\frac{30e^{-s}}{s+1}$ Substituting in the given initial values and rearranging terms yields $Y(s)(s^2+s-6)-3s+1=\frac{30e^{-s}}{s+1}\\ Y(s)(s^2+s-6)=\frac{30e^{-s}}{s+1}+3s-1$ 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: $Y(s)=\frac{30e^{-s}}{(s+1)(s+3)(s-2)}+\frac{3s}{(s+3)(s-2)}-\frac{1}{(s+3)(s-2)}\\ =e^{-s}(-\frac{5}{s+1}+\frac{3}{s+3}+\frac{2}{s-2})+(\frac{9}{s(s+3)}+\frac{6}{s(s-2)})+\frac{1}{s(s+3)}-\frac{1}{s(s-2)}$ Now,$f(t)= L^{-1}[e^{-s}(-\frac{5}{s+1}+\frac{3}{s+3}+\frac{2}{s-2})+(\frac{9}{s(s+3)}+\frac{6}{s(s-2)})+\frac{1}{s(s+3)}-\frac{1}{s(s-2)}]\\ =e^{-s}(-\frac{5}{s+1}+\frac{3}{s+3}+\frac{2}{s-2})+(\frac{2}{s+3}+\frac{1}{s-2})]\\ =[-se^{-(t-1)}+3e^{-3(t-1)}+2e^{2(t-1)}]u_1(t)+2e^{-3t}+e^{2t}$
