\[ \boxed {y^{\prime \prime }+4 y=-\cos \left (\frac {t}{2}\right )} \]

Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.016 (sec). Leaf size: 23

dsolve(diff(y(t),t$2)+4*y(t)=-cos(t/2),y(t), singsol=all)
 

\[ y \left (t \right ) = c_{2} \sin \left (2 t \right )+c_{1} \cos \left (2 t \right )-\frac {4 \cos \left (\frac {t}{2}\right )}{15} \]

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.031 (sec). Leaf size: 30

DSolve[y''[t]+4*y[t]==-Cos[t/2],y[t],t,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 

\[ y(t)\to -\frac {4}{15} \cos \left (\frac {t}{2}\right )+c_1 \cos (2 t)+c_2 \sin (2 t) \]
