You need to first solve the homogeneous equation $R i + L i^\prime = 0$ and then use the method of undetermined coefficients to solve for the particular solution given the driving function $V \sin(\omega t)$ The final solution is the sum of the homogeneous solution and the particular solution. With a sinusoidal driving function you should try a function of the form $i_p(t) = A \cos(\omega t) + B \sin(\omega t)$ plug that into the differential equation and solve for the $A, ~B$ that makes that equal to the driving function $V \sin(\omega t)$ It's a bit of differentiation and a bunch of algebra. I have confidence you can do it!
