It looks like the ODE is

with the initial condition of
.
Rewrite the right side in terms of the unit step function,

In this case, we have

The Laplace transform of the step function is easy to compute:

So, taking the Laplace transform of both sides of the ODE, we get

Solve for
:

We can split the first term into partial fractions:

If
, then
.
If
, then
.


Take the inverse transform of both sides, recalling that

where
is the Laplace transform of the function
. We have


We then end up with

It is 3 steps so first explain then do the steps then solve
