Answer:

$y = 7e^{-3t}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = C_1e^{3t} + C_2e^{-3t}$

$y(0) = 7$ implies that when $t=0$ , $y=7$ .

$7 = C_1e^{3\times0) + C_2e^{-3\times0}$

$7 = C_1+C_2$

For the condition $\lim\limits_{t \to +\infty} y(t) = 0$ , as $t\to+\infty$ , $y\to0$ .

In the expression for $y$ , as $t\to+\infty$ , the term containing $C_2$ vanishes. Hence,

$0 = C_1e^{3t}$

$C_1 = 0$

Since $7 = C_1+C_2$

$7 = 0+C_2$

$C_2 = 7$

Substituting for $C_1$ and $C_2$ in $y$ ,

$y = 7e^{-3t}$
