Answer

$$y = - \frac{1}{2}{e^{ - 2t}} + \frac{{13}}{2}$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \frac{{dy}}{{dt}} = {e^{ - 2t}} \cr & {\text{Separate the variables}} \cr & dy = {e^{ - 2t}}dt \cr & {\text{Integrate both sides with respecto to }}x \cr & \int {dy} = \int {{e^{ - 2t}}} dt \cr & y = - \frac{1}{2}{e^{ - 2t}} + C \cr & {\text{Apply the initial condition }}y\left( 0 \right) = 6 \cr & 6 = - \frac{1}{2}{e^{ - 2\left( 0 \right)}} + C \cr & {\text{Simplifying}} \cr & 6 = - \frac{1}{2} + C \cr & C = \frac{{13}}{2} \cr & {\text{Substitute }}C{\text{ into }}y = - \frac{1}{2}{e^{ - 2t}} + C \cr & y = - \frac{1}{2}{e^{ - 2t}} + \frac{{13}}{2} \cr} $$
