=2*EXP(-1.5*A5)+8
When t = 0 the formula should give the given initial value of y0 and if the exponent
of e is negative then the values of y should converge on the particular solution. If they
do not then you may have made some mistake in your derivation of the solution and
it is worth checking through your calculations again.
