Jose,

I love these "surgery on expressions" problems! Here is one path to the
solution.

In[102]:=
f = (11*s^2 + 172*s + 700)/((s + 2)*(s^2 + 12*s + 100))
InverseLaplaceTransform[f, s, t]
ComplexExpand[%]
Collect[%, E^(-6*t)]
% /. a_*Cos[x_] + b_*Sin[x_] :> Sqrt[a^2 + b^2]*Cos[x - ArcTan[b/a]]
% /. ArcTan[x_] :> N[ArcTan[x]/Pi]*180*HoldForm[Degree]

Out[102]=
(700 + 172*s + 11*s^2)/((2 + s)*(100 + 12*s + s^2))

Out[103]=
(3 + 4*I)*E^((-6 - 8*I)*t) + (3 - 4*I)*E^((-6 + 8*I)*t) + 5/E^(2*t)

Out[104]=
5/E^(2*t) + (6*Cos[8*t])/E^(6*t) + (8*Sin[8*t])/E^(6*t)

Out[105]=
5/E^(2*t) + (6*Cos[8*t] + 8*Sin[8*t])/E^(6*t)

Out[106]=
5/E^(2*t) + (10*Cos[8*t - ArcTan[4/3]])/E^(6*t)

Out[107]=
5/E^(2*t) + (10*Cos[8*t - 53.13010235415597*HoldForm[Degree]])/E^(6*t)

The last expression looks much better in StandardForm. ArcTan[4/3] is the
exact expression for 53.13 Degree and you should usually skip the last step.
