dsolve([2*diff(z(t),t$2)+7*diff(z(t),t)-4*z(t)=0,z(0) = 0, D(z)(0) = 9],z(t), singsol=all)
 

\[ z \left (t \right ) = 2 \left ({\mathrm e}^{\frac {9 t}{2}}-1\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-4 t} \]

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.047 (sec). Leaf size: 49

DSolve[{z''[t]+7*z'[t]-4*z[t]==0,{z[0]==3,z'[0]==9}},z[t],t,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 

\[ z(t)\to \frac {3}{10} e^{-\frac {1}{2} \left (7+\sqrt {65}\right ) t} \left (\left (5+\sqrt {65}\right ) e^{\sqrt {65} t}+5-\sqrt {65}\right ) \]
