Answer

$$y=2-e^{t }$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$ \frac{dy}{dt} + y =2,\ \ \ \ \ y(0)=1$$ Since \begin{align*} \mu(t)&=e^{\int dt}\\ &=e^{t } \end{align*} Then \begin{align*} y\mu(t)&=\int \mu(t) q(t)dt\\ e^{t } y&=\int 2 e^{t } dt\\ &= 2 e^{t } +c \end{align*} Since $y(0)=1,$ then $c=-1$ Hence $$y=2-e^{t }$$
