The problem provided is an initial value problem (IVP) of a second-order differential equation:

\[
y''(t) + y(t) = \sin(t),
\]
with initial conditions:
\[
y(0) = 0, \quad y'(0) = 0.
\]

### Solution Process:

This is a non-homogeneous second-order differential equation, and we can solve it in two steps: 

1. **Solve the homogeneous equation:**
   \[
   y_h''(t) + y_h(t) = 0.
   \]
   The characteristic equation is:
   \[
   r^2 + 1 = 0,
   \]
   which gives the roots \( r = \pm i \). Thus, the general solution to the homogeneous equation is:
   \[
   y_h(t) = C_1 \cos(t) + C_2 \sin(t),
   \]
   where \( C_1 \) and \( C_2 \) are constants to be determined.

2. **Find the particular solution:**
   We now look for a particular solution \( y_p(t) \) to the non-homogeneous equation:
   \[
   y''(t) + y(t) = \sin(t).
   \]
   Since the right-hand side is \( \sin(t) \), we try a particular solution of the form:
   \[
   y_p(t) = A t \cos(t) + B t \sin(t).
   \]
   Substituting \( y_p(t) \) into the differential equation and solving for the constants will give the particular solution.

### Complete Solution:
The complete solution is the sum of the homogeneous and particular solutions:
\[
y(t) = y_h(t) + y_p(t) = C_1 \cos(t) + C_2 \sin(t) + A t \cos(t) + B t \sin(t).
\]

Using the initial conditions \( y(0) = 0 \) and \( y'(0) = 0 \), we can solve for the constants \( C_1 \), \( C_2 \), \( A \), and \( B \).

Solve the initial value problem: y''(t) + y(t) = sin(t), with initial conditions y(0) = 0 and y'(0) = 0.
