I await the Laplace transform solution with eagerness, not that I will understand any of it.

Spoiler

y = 0.5 ( x - dx/dt )

dy/dt = 0.5 ( dx/dt - d2x/dt2 ) = 5x - y

dx/dt - d2x/dt2 = 10 x + dx/dt - x

etc....

How different, have I screwed up my coefficients or is my entire form wrong?

the form is correct but I have different coefficients

I get x=cos3t53sin3t\displaystyle x = -\cos 3t - \frac{5}{3}\sin 3t?

yeah

I am off for my daily walk for an hour ...
see if you get the y

You probably made a slight slip up when plugging in the values. dx/dt at t = 0 is -5.

Zacken is correct about my mistake, for the sake of neatness I wrote the general solution as 2y = ... but forgot about the 2 when substituting for y(0). I now have the same as him for x (and presumably y also).

its le duck/zack attack btw
but ill keep trolling @physicsmaths cuz its funnyyynynynynnynynynynynyynynyn6yygerbsjgfi48wouqe098ud!!!!!!!!!!!!!
