Step 1:
\The differential equation is and point is
.
Slope field is
A direction field is graphical representation of the solutions of a first order differential equation.
\Create a table to compute the slope at several values of and
.
![]() | \
-3 | \-2 | \-1 | \0 | \1 | \2 | \3 | \
![]() | \
0 | \1 | \2 | \ \
3 \ | \
0 | \-1 | \2 | \
![]() | \
-6 | \-3 | \0 | \3 | \-2 | \-5 | \-4 | \
Now draw the short line segments with their slopes at respective points.
\The result is the direction field of the differential equation.
\Graph the directional field of differential equation:
\Step 2:
\Observe the table:
\The slope of the differential equation at point is
.
Now draw a solution curve so that it move parallel to the near by segments.
\The resulting curve is solution curve which passes through .
Solution:
\Directional field of differential equation is
Solution curve passing through is
