Work Step by Step

Taking the Laplace transform of both sides of the given differential equation and imposing the initial conditions yields: $s(Y)-Y(0)-5Y=\frac{2}{s+1}+e^{-3s}\\ s(Y)(s-5)-0=\frac{2}{s+1}+e^{-3s}$ which implies that: $Y(s)=\frac{2}{(s+1)(s-5)}+\frac{e^{-3s}}{s-5}$ Taking the inverse Laplace transform of both sides gives $y(t)=L^{-1}[\frac{2}{(s+1)(s-5)}+\frac{e^{-3s}}{s-5}]\\ =\frac{1}{3}(\frac{1}{s-5}-\frac{1}{s+1})+\frac{e^{-3s}}{s-5}$ Since $L^{-1}\{\frac{e^{-3s}}{s-5}\}=u_3(t)e^{5(t-3)}$ we finally obtain $y(t)=\frac{1}{3}(e^{5t}-e^{-t})+u_3(t)e^{5(t-3)}$
