<statement>
<p>
Explain how to find the general solution to the given ODE,
and the particular solution to the given IVP.
</p>
<me> -3 \, {y'} - 9 \, {y} = 0 ,\hspace{1em}
y\big( \log\left(2\right) \big)= -\frac{3}{8} </me>
<p>Then show how to verify that your particular solution is correct.</p>
</statement>
<answer>
<me> {y} = k e^{\left(-3 \, t\right)} </me>
<me> {y} = -3 \, e^{\left(-3 \, t\right)} </me>
