The general solution of equations of the form
g'(x)=kg(x) is
g(x)=C*e^k^x for some constant C.

This can be found using separation of variables.


(dg)/(dx) = kg


(dg)/(g)=kdx


\int\limits (dg)/(g) = \int\limits kdx


ln(IgI)=kx+c


e^l^n^(^I^g^I^)=e^(kx+c)


g=c\cdot e^k^x
Let \ C=e^c \geq 0

In our case
k=8 so
g(x)=C\cdot e^(8x)

Let's use the fact that
g(2)=7 to find C.


g(x)=c\cdot e^8^x


g(2)=c\cdot e^8^.^2
Plug \ x=2


7=c\cdot e^8^.^2
g(2)=7


7e^-^1^6 = c

In conclusion,
g(x)=7e^(8x-16).
