Question
**Using the Initial Condition to Solve for A**

To solve the initial value problem, use the initial condition \( y(2) = 7 \).

**Problem:**

The function is given by:
\[ y = Ae^{x^2/2 - x} + 7 \]

Substitute \( x = 2 \) into the equation using the initial condition:
\[ 7 = Ae^{2^2/2 - 2} + 7 \]

**Evaluating A:**

Attempted calculation for A:
There's an incorrect calculation for A shown as:

\[ A = \frac{2}{e^2} \]

**Substituting value for A:**

A box is provided where the final equation should be placed. However, the calculation and placement are marked with a red cross indicating an error.

\[ y = \] 

The calculation needs to be reviewed to identify and correct the error in determining the value for A, ensuring it satisfies the initial condition provided.
