Answer

$c_1 = -1$ $c_2 = 2 $ $y = -e^{-2x} + 2e^{3x} $

Work Step by Step

$y = c_1e^{-2x} + c_2e^{3x} $ $y' = -2c_1e^{-2x} + 3c_2e^{3x}$ Plug in the value $y(0) = 1$ $y(0) = c_1e^{-2(0)} + c_2e^{3(0)} = 1$ $c_1 + c_2 = 1 ............... (1)$ Plug in the value $y'(0) = 8$ $y'(0) = -2c_1e^{-2(0)} + 3c_2e^{3(0)}= 8$ $-2c_1 + 3c_2 = 8..............(2)$ Solving equation (1) and (2) simultaneously, we get $c_1 = -1$ $c_2 = 2 $ Rewrite the original equation with values of $c_1$ and $c_2$ $y = -e^{-2x} + 2e^{3x} $
