I'm a bit puzzled by this. You do the hard part and can't do the substitution?

Substitute t = 1 and see where it leads.

\begin{align*}\displaystyle
y(1)&= \frac{t^2}{2e^{2t}} + \frac{c_1}{e^{2t}}=0\\
&=\frac{1}{2e^{2}}+\frac{c_1}{e^{2}}=0\\
\frac{c_1}{e^{2}}&=-\frac{1}{2e^{2}} \\
c_1&=-\frac{1}{2}
\end{align*}

and then

&=\frac{1}{2e^{2}}+\frac{c_1}{e^{2}}=0\\
\frac{c_1}{e^{2}}&=-\frac{1}{2e^{2}} \\
c_1&=-\frac{1}{2}

I'm a little unhappy with your notation. After you write y(1), there should be no more appearance of "t".

\begin{align*}\displaystyle
y(t)&= \frac{t^2}{2e^{2t}} + \frac{c_1}{e^{2t}}=0\\
y(1)&=\frac{c_1}{e^{2}}=-\frac{1}{2e^{2}} \\
c_1&=-\frac{1}{2}\\
\text{so then}\\
y(t)&=\frac{t^2}{2e^{2t}} + \frac{1}{2e^{2t}}
\end{align*}

\begin{align*}\displaystyle
y(t)&= \frac{t^2}{2e^{2t}} + \frac{c_1}{e^{2t}}=0\\
y(1)&=\frac{c_1}{e^{2}}=-\frac{1}{2e^{2}} \\
c_1&=-\frac{1}{2}\\
\text{so then}\\
y(t)&=\frac{t^2}{2e^{2t}} + \frac{1}{2e^{2t}}
\end{align*}

Remember when you said that one must be SUPER CAREFUL on these?

Put the "=0" on the y(1), not on the y(t). :-)

[HOI]

\begin{align*}\displaystyle
y(t)&= \frac{t^2}{2e^{2t}} + \frac{c_1}{e^{2t}}\\
y(1)&=\frac{c_1}{e^{2}}=-\frac{1}{2e^{2}}=0 \end{align*}

And that is still wrong!
[math]y(1)= \frac{1}{2e^2}+ \frac{c_1}{e^2}= 0[/math]
so [math]\frac{c_1}{e^2}= -\frac{1}{2e^2}[/math]
and from that [math]c_1= -\frac{1}{2}[/math].

\begin{align*} \displaystyle c_1&=-\frac{1}{2}\\
\text{so then}\\
y(t)&=\frac{t^2}{2e^{2t}} + \frac{1}{2e^{2t}}
\end{align*}

\begin{align*}\displaystyle
y(1)&=\frac{c_1}{e^{2}}=-\frac{1}{2e^{2}}=0 \\

SUPER careful. :-)

Your getting this. Keep hitting it.

not in a class yet which starts 8/20

so this forum is my crying shoulder
