Answer

\[ \mathbf{r}(t)=e^{t} \mathbf{r}_{0} \]

Work Step by Step

\[ \text { Key: } \quad \frac{d}{d t}\left(c^{t}\right)=c^{t} \] In 2d-space: \[ \begin{array}{l} \operatorname{Let} \mathrm{r}(t)=x(t) \mathrm{i}+y(t) \mathrm{j}, \quad \frac{d x}{d t}=x(t), \frac{d y}{d t}=y(t) \\ x_{0}, y(0)=y_{0} =x(0)\\ x_{0} e^{t}, y(t)=y_{0} c^{t}=x(t) \\ e^{t} \mathrm{r}_{0}=\mathrm{r}(t) \end{array} \] For 3d-space, the same approach holds.
