Solution

The given function is y(x) = 7e^(-2x).

The constant k is the coefficient of x in the exponent of the exponential function. In this case, k = 2. Note that the negative sign is included in the value of k because the differential equation is dy/dx = -ky.

The initial value y(0) is the value of the function when x = 0. Substituting x = 0 into the function gives:

y(0) = 7e^(-2*0) = 7e^0 = 7

So, the constants are k = 2 and y0 = 7.
