1. I'm having trouble with the laplace transform of y"(t) + 2y'(t) + y(t) = 3te^-t, y'(0) = 4, y"(0) = 2

I worked through to Y(s) = (4s^3 + 18s^2 + 24s + 13)/(s+1)^4

i need help finding the inverse laplace transform

2. I've tried multiple times to find the general solution of the following equation always ending up at dead ends.

[x^(n+1)y^n + ay]dx + [y^(n+1)x^n + ax]dy = 0
Caution: the answer depends on the numerical value of n

Any help will be much appreciated

Thank you
 
Have you tried a partial fraction decomposition?

\(\displaystyle \L\,\frac{3}{(s+1)^{4}}\,+\,\frac{6}{(s+1)^{2}}\,+\,\frac{4}{(s+1)}\)
