\begin{align*} y \left (0\right )&=2 \\ \end{align*}

✓ Maple. Time used: 0.041 (sec). Leaf size: 10

ode:=diff(y(t),t)-4*y(t) = 0; 
ic:=[y(0) = 2]; 
dsolve([ode,op(ic)],y(t),method='laplace');
 

\[ y = 2 \,{\mathrm e}^{4 t} \]

✓ Mathematica. Time used: 0.013 (sec). Leaf size: 12

ode=D[y[t],t]-4*y[t]==0; 
ic={y[0]==2}; 
DSolve[{ode,ic},y[t],t,IncludeSingularSolutions->True]
 

\begin{align*} y(t)&\to 2 e^{4 t} \end{align*}

✓ Sympy. Time used: 0.061 (sec). Leaf size: 8

from sympy import * 
t = symbols("t") 
y = Function("y") 
ode = Eq(-4*y(t) + Derivative(y(t), t),0) 
ics = {y(0): 2} 
dsolve(ode,func=y(t),ics=ics)
 

\[ y{\left (t \right )} = 2 e^{4 t} \]
