Answer

See below

Work Step by Step

Taking the Laplace transform of both sides of the given differential equation and imposing the initial conditions yields: $s(Y)-Y(0)-2Y=e^{-2s}\\ s(Y)(s-2)-1=e^{-2s}$ which implies that: $Y(s)=\frac{e^{-2s}}{s-2}+\frac{1}{s-2}$ Taking the inverse Laplace transform of both sides gives $y(t)=L^{-1}\{\frac{e^{-2s}}{s-2}\}+L^{-1}\{\frac{1}{s-2}\}$ Since $L^{-1}\{\frac{e^{-2s}}{s-2}\}=u_2(t)e^{2(t-2)}$ we finally obtain $y(t)=u_2(t)e^{2(t-2)}+e^{2t}$
