Question is attached as Clipboard01.jpg

I have tried the use Variation of Parameters to solve this question, but I kept getting wrong answer.
This is What I get y=(2e^x)(Cos(e^x))+0.5(e^(-x))Cos(e^(-x))-2Sin(e^(-x))
This is the right answer: y=-Sin(e^(-x))-(e^x)Cos(e^(-x))

Procedure is shown in the second jpg file
Can someone help me with this problem?
Thank You

  • Typeset equation: y dot minus y equals e to the power of negative 2x, times sin of e to the power of negative x.

  • Handwritten variation of parameters working: characteristic roots r = ±1, Wronskian computed, integrals for v1 and v2, and a final particular solution expression involving e^x, e^(-x), cos and sin.
