Use a Green's function to find an integral expression for the solution of the equation

d2θdt2+4dθdt+29θ=f(t)\frac{d^{2} \theta}{d t^{2}}+4 \frac{d \theta}{d t}+29 \theta=f(t)

for t0t \geqslant 0 subject to the initial conditions

θ(0)=0 and dθdt(0)=0\theta(0)=0 \quad \text { and } \quad \frac{d \theta}{d t}(0)=0
