Maple gives the following as the ode type

[[_2nd_order, _linear, _nonhomogeneous]]

\[ \boxed {y^{\prime \prime }+3 y^{\prime }+2 y=\left \{\begin {array}{cc} 1 & 0\le t <10 \\ 0 & \operatorname {otherwise} \end {array}\right .} \] With initial conditions \begin {align*} [y \left (0\right ) = 0, y^{\prime }\left (0\right ) = 0] \end {align*}

4.4.1 Existence and uniqueness analysis

This is a linear ODE. In canonical form it is written as \begin {align*} y^{\prime \prime } + p(t)y^{\prime } + q(t) y &= F \end {align*}

Where here \begin {align*} p(t) &=3\\ q(t) &=2\\ F &=\left \{\begin {array}{cc} 0 & t <0 \\ 1 & t <10 \\ 0 & 10\le t \end {array}\right . \end {align*}

Hence the ode is \begin {align*} y^{\prime \prime }+3 y^{\prime }+2 y = \left \{\begin {array}{cc} 0 & t <0 \\ 1 & t <10 \\ 0 & 10\le t \end {array}\right . \end {align*}

The domain of \(p(t)=3\) is \[ \{-\infty

Solving using the Laplace transform method. Let \begin {align*} \mathcal {L}\left (y\right ) =Y(s) \end {align*}

Taking the Laplace transform of the ode and using the relations that \begin {align*} \mathcal {L}\left (y^{\prime }\right ) &= s Y(s) - y \left (0\right )\\ \mathcal {L}\left (y^{\prime \prime }\right ) &= s^2 Y(s) - y'(0) - s y \left (0\right ) \end {align*}

The given ode now becomes an algebraic equation in the Laplace domain \begin {align*} s^{2} Y \left (s \right )-y^{\prime }\left (0\right )-s y \left (0\right )+3 s Y \left (s \right )-3 y \left (0\right )+2 Y \left (s \right ) = \frac {1-{\mathrm e}^{-10 s}}{s}\tag {1} \end {align*}

But the initial conditions are \begin {align*} y \left (0\right )&=0\\ y'(0) &=0 \end {align*}

Substituting these initial conditions in above in Eq (1) gives \begin {align*} s^{2} Y \left (s \right )+3 s Y \left (s \right )+2 Y \left (s \right ) = \frac {1-{\mathrm e}^{-10 s}}{s} \end {align*}

Solving the above equation for \(Y(s)\) results in \begin {align*} Y(s) = -\frac {-1+{\mathrm e}^{-10 s}}{s \left (s^{2}+3 s +2\right )} \end {align*}

Taking the inverse Laplace transform gives \begin {align*} y&= \mathcal {L}^{-1}\left (Y(s)\right )\\ &= \mathcal {L}^{-1}\left (-\frac {-1+{\mathrm e}^{-10 s}}{s \left (s^{2}+3 s +2\right )}\right )\\ &= \frac {\operatorname {Heaviside}\left (10-t \right )}{2}-{\mathrm e}^{-t}+\frac {{\mathrm e}^{-2 t}}{2}+\frac {\left (-{\mathrm e}^{-2 t +20}+2 \,{\mathrm e}^{10-t}\right ) \operatorname {Heaviside}\left (t -10\right )}{2} \end {align*}

Converting the above solution to piecewise it becomes \[ y = \left \{\begin {array}{cc} -{\mathrm e}^{-t}+\frac {{\mathrm e}^{-2 t}}{2}+\frac {1}{2} & t <10 \\ -{\mathrm e}^{-10}+\frac {{\mathrm e}^{-20}}{2}+1 & t =10 \\ -{\mathrm e}^{-t}+\frac {{\mathrm e}^{-2 t}}{2}-\frac {{\mathrm e}^{-2 t +20}}{2}+{\mathrm e}^{10-t} & 10

Summary

The solution(s) found are the following \begin{align*} \tag{1} y &= -\frac {\left (\left \{\begin {array}{cc} 2 \,{\mathrm e}^{-t}-{\mathrm e}^{-2 t}-1 & t <10 \\ 2 \,{\mathrm e}^{-10}-{\mathrm e}^{-20}-2 & t &=10 \\ 2 \,{\mathrm e}^{-t}-{\mathrm e}^{-2 t}+{\mathrm e}^{-2 t +20}-2 \,{\mathrm e}^{10-t} & 10
