Answer

$y=-e^{-x}+4e^{0.5x}$

Work Step by Step

$2y''+y'-y=0$ Use auxiliary equation $2r^{2}+r-1=0$ $(2r-1)(r+1)=0$ $r_{1}=-1$ $r_{2}=\frac{1}{2}$ $y=c_{1}e^{r_{1}x}+c_{2}e^{r_{2}x}$ $y=c_{1}e^{-x}+c_{2}e^{0.5x}$ $y'=-c_{1}e^{-x}+\frac{1}{2}c_{2}e^{0.5x}$ Given:$y(0)=3$ $y(0)=3=c_{1}e^{0}+c_{2}e^{0}$ $c_{1}+c_{2}=3$ $y'(0)=3=-c_{1}e^{0}+\frac{1}{2}c_{2}e^{0}$ $-c_{1}+\frac{1}{2}c_{2}=3$ $c_{1}+c_{2}=3$ $-c_{1}+\frac{1}{2}c_{2}=3$ $c_{1}=3-c_{2}$ $-(3-c_{2})+\frac{1}{2}c_{2}=3$ $-3+c_{2}+\frac{1}{2}c_{2}=3$ $\frac{3}{2}c_{2}=6$ $c_{2}=4$ $c_{1}=-1$ $y=-e^{-x}+4e^{0.5x}$
