Hello,
I have problems with a differential equation of second order:
y''-2y'+5y=0
with IV:
y(0)=2 and y'(0)=-4
I tried to slove it with aid of Laplace transform, due to the fact that both nessesarv IV are given.
The Laplace transform turned into a difficult convolution:
This Problem is part of an old Exam and it should be able to slove it in a short time without any electronic calculator.
My Question is: Is there an easier way to solve an equation like that?

Code:
$ y(s) = L^(-1) \{ \frac{2s-8}{(s-1)^2 + 4} \} $
