The solution is:
Press µµto simplify the result to
'y(t) = -((19*√5*SIN(√5*t)-(148*COS(√5*t)+80*COS(t/2)))/190)'.

Laplace Transforms

The Laplace transform of a function f(t) produces a function F(s) in the image
domain that can be utilized to find the solution of a linear differential equation
involving f(t) through algebraic methods. The steps involved in this
application are three:
1. Use of the Laplace transform converts the linear ODE involving f(t) into an
algebraic equation.
2. The unknown F(s) is solved for in the image domain through algebraic
manipulation.
3. An inverse Laplace transform is used to convert the image function found
in step 2 into the solution to the differential equation f(t).
