Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.018 (sec). Leaf size: 15

dsolve([diff(y(t),t$2)-diff(y(t),t)-2*y(t)=0,y(0) = -1, D(y)(0) = -5],y(t), singsol=all)
 
\[ y = {\mathrm e}^{-t}-2 \,{\mathrm e}^{2 t} \]

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.014 (sec). Leaf size: 18

DSolve[{D[y[t],{t,2}]-D[y[t],t]-2*y[t]==0,{y[0]==-1,Derivative[1][y][0] ==-5}},y[t],t,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 
\[ y(t)\to e^{-t}-2 e^{2 t} \]
