And also:
y`+2y=2(1-e^-2t) Y(0)=0
y¨-2y`+y = t+e^t y(0)=1 and y`(0)=0

Please help me out here folks ;)

It's a bit unusual to have an initial condition in the frequency domain. Are you sure the initial condition for the first DE is $Y(0)=0$? Or is it $y(0)=0$? In any case, what do you get when you Laplace Transform the entire equation? (For each DE.)
 
Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
