By using the Laplace transform, show that the solution to

y′′−4y′+3y=te−3t,y^{\prime \prime}-4 y^{\prime}+3 y=t e^{-3 t},

subject to the conditions y(0)=0y(0)=0 and y′(0)=1y^{\prime}(0)=1, is given by

y(t)=3772e3t−1732et+(5288+124t)e−3ty(t)=\frac{37}{72} e^{3 t}-\frac{17}{32} e^{t}+\left(\frac{5}{288}+\frac{1}{24} t\right) e^{-3 t}

when t⩾0t \geqslant 0.
