Differential Equations- Initial Value Problem
I have my general solution but the initial condition is $y(0)=y_0$. How do I know what $y_0$ is?
\[y'=-y+5, y(0)=y_0. \]

Let me know if you need any clarifications.

I have my general solution then, but my constant isn’t given. I’m just given that x=0 but I need to solve for c but I can’t do that because y0 isn’t a number?
-
-
y_0 has to be given and it can not be solved. Do you have any other information given?
-
The question quotes “Solve each of the following initial value problems and plot the solutions for several values of Yo. Then describe in a few words how the solutions resemble, and differ from, each other.” I would assume that I’m assuming different values for y(0) and drawing a direction field.

y_0 in indeed a number.

Your question is not clear. Why don't you post a picture of the question?

I posted the picture. It’s question 1 a

I revised the answer and added some comments at the end.

Thank you. Sorry for the confusion
