Question: $y^{'} - y = 2te^{2t}$,   $y(0) = 1$

$p(t) = -1$,   $g(t) = 2te^{2t}$

$u(t) = e^{\int -1dt} = e^{-t}$

multiply both sides with $u$, then we get:

$e^{-t}y^{'}-e^{-t}y=2te^{t}$

$(e^{-t}y)^{'} = 2te^{t}$

$d(e^{-t}y)= 2te^{t}dt$

$e^{-t}y=\int 2te^{t}dt$

$e^{-t}y = 2e^{t}(t-1)+C$

$y = 2e^{2t}(t-1)+Ce^{t}$

Since $y(0) = 1 \implies 1= 2\times e^{0}(0-1)+Ce^{0}$, then we get $C =3$

Therefore, general solution is: $y = 2e^{2t}(t-1)+3e^{t}$
