  • \( e^{x/2 + 2} \)
  • \( e^{2x} \)
  • \( e^{x/2} \)
  • \( e^2 e^{2x} \)
  • \( e^{2x} + 2 \)

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Solve differential equation.

Step 1:
Separate variables.
\[ \frac{dy}{y} = 2dx \]

Step 2:
Integrate.
\[ \ln y = 2x + C \Rightarrow y = Ce^{2x} \]

Step 3:
Apply condition.
\[ y(0)=e^2 \Rightarrow C = e^2 \] \[ y = e^2 e^{2x} \]
