Recall, that given $$f(t)=6e^t\sin{t}\quad g(t)=e^t\cos(t)$$

The Wronskian of $f(t), g(t) = W(f,g)(t)$

$$W(f, g)(t) =\det \left(\begin{bmatrix}f(t) & g(t) \\ f'(t) & g'(t) \end{bmatrix}\right)$$

So find each of $f'(t)$ and $g'(t)$, and substitute $f, g, f', g'$ into the matrix; then you simply compute the determinant: $$W(f, g)(t)= f(t)\cdot g'(t) - f'(t)\cdot g(t)$$
