We first rewrite the given function of s as two expressions by means of termwise division and then use (1):

\mathscr{L}^{-1}\{\alpha F(s)+\beta G(s)\}=\alpha \mathscr{L}^{-1}\{F(s)\}+\beta \mathscr{L}^{-1}\{G(s)\},               (1)

\begin{array}{c} &\text {         termwise division} &\text {linearity and fixing up constants }\\ & \qquad \ \ \downarrow &\downarrow\qquad  \\ \mathscr{L}^{-1}\left\{\frac{-2 s+6}{s^{2}+4}\right\} &= \mathscr{L}^{-1}\left\{\frac{-2 s}{s^{2}+4}+\frac{6}{s^{2}+4}\right\}&=-2 \mathscr{L}^{-1}\left\{\frac{s}{s^{2}+4}\right\}+\frac{6}{2} \mathscr{L}^{-1}\left\{\frac{2}{s^{2}+4}\right\} \text { (2) } \qquad \quad \\ &=-2 \cos 2 t+3 \sin 2 t .& \leftarrow \text { parts (e) and (d) of Theorem 4.2.1 with } k=2 \quad  \end{array}
