Step 1
The homogeneous part of y, given by yh(t), solves the following system:
yh=(2112)yh.
The above system can be solved directly by looking at the eigenvalue of the matrix
(2112)
One can check that the eigenvalues are given by -1 and -3. This yields
yh(t)=etv1+e3tv2
where v1 and v2 are arbitrary vectors in R2 (am assuming that is what you are working with) to be determined by providing the relevant initial data.
Step 2
One can check that a particular solution yp(t) is given by
yp(t)=(sin(t)cos(t)).
(Remark: One way you could have known this is to guess that
yp(t)=(Asin(t)+Bcos(t)Csin(t)+Dcos(t))
and solve for A,B,C, and D.)
This gives
y(t)=yh(t)+yp(t)
e-tv1+e-3tv2+sin(t)cos(t)

Step 1
This kind of matrix structure has some very simple eigenvectors. In general for circulant matrices one can use a Fourier basis.
Here consider u1=y1+y2 and u2=y1y2 to get the decoupled system of scalar equations
u1=u1+2cos(t)
u2=3u2+4sin(t)2cos(t).
These you should be able to solve with your previous experiences. Reconstructing y1, y2 from their solutions is then a trivial step.
