Solution.

From what you provided, we can rewrite the differential equations as follows. Let X=(x(t),y(t),z(t))', or X=(x,y,z)' in short, then we have
x'=2x+cost (1)
y'=-x-z+sint (2)
z'=x+y+2z+e(-t) (3)
By (1), it is a first order ordinary linear differential equation. You can use a formula in your text book and get the following solution.
x(t)=Ae^(2t)+1/5*sint-2/5*cost.
Using the initial condition x(0)=0, we can determine the constant A. By a simple calculation we get
A=2/5
So ...
