Can someone please explain to me how they got from the orange step to the yellow step?

I am confused how the two expressions are equivalent.

Thanks!

Just perform the multiplications and collect real and imaginary terms in their own matrices.

The yellow expression contains a sign error; the second term should be:$$
i\left(\begin{array}{c}
-e^{-2t}\sin3t\\
+e^{-2t}\cos3t
\end{array}\right)
$$
