For future reference we have the MathJax LaTeX rendering engine active on the site so that you could write $3 e^{5jt} e^{-5jt}$ and get $3 e^{5jt} e^{-5jt}$. – dmckee Dec 30 '12 at 23:39

$6\cos(5t)$; use Euler's formula for sine and cosine.
$\exp(i*\theta)=cos(\theta)+i*sin(\theta)$
From this you can show, $$sin(\theta)=(1/2i)*(\exp(i*\theta)-\exp(-i*\theta))$$ $$cos(\theta)=(1/2)*(\exp(i*\theta)+\exp(-i*\theta))$$
It's not $2\sin(3t)$; it's what New Horizon said. – Ted Bunn Jun 21 '11 at 14:31
