y'(0)=1

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



Laplace everything and I get
s^2*Y(s)-2s-1+6s*Y(s)-12+10Y(s)=0

isolate Y(s)
Y(s)=(2s+13)/(s^2+6s+10)

split into 2 terms, bottom can be rearranged by completing the square

2s/[(s+3)^2+1^1] + 13/[(s+3)^2+1^1]

inverse laplace

y(t)=2e^-3t*cost + 13e^-3t*sint

both wolfram and the answer key say the last term should be 7 instead of 13, but i don't see where I made a mistake
