\(x'' + 6x' + 9x = 64e^{5t},\quad x(0) = 3,\quad x'(0) = 0\)

2.

\(y''-2y'+5y = -8e^{-t},\quad y(0) = 2,\quad y'(0) = 12\)

3.

\(y'' + 3y' + 2y = 0,\quad y(0) = 2,\quad y'(0) = -1\)

4.

\(y' + 4y = 10e^{-2t},\quad y(0) = 3\)

5.

\(y' + 3y = 6e^{2t}, \quad y(0) = 1\)

6.

\(y'' + 4y = \cos(2t), \quad y(0) = 0, \quad y'(0) = 1\)

7.

\(y' - 2y = 3e^{4t},\quad y(0) = 1\)

8.

\(y'' + 5y' + 6y = \sin(2t),\quad y(0) = 0,\quad y'(0) = 1\)

9.

\(y'' + 3y' + 2y = 4t,\quad y(0) = 1,\quad y'(0) = 0\)

10.

\(y'' + 3y' + 2y = 0, \quad y(0) = 1,\quad y'(0) = 0\)

11.

\(y'' - y = e^{2t}, \quad y(0) = 0,\quad y'(0) = 1\)

12.

\(y' + y = 4, \quad y(0) = 2\)

13.

\(y'' - 3y' + 2y = e^{2t}, \quad y(0) = 1, \quad y'(0) = 0\)

14.

\(x'' - 4x' + 13x = 54e^{-t}, \quad x(0) = 0, \quad x'(0) = 0\)
