Now draw the short line segments with their slopes at respective points.
\The result is the direction field of the differential equation.
\Graph the slope field of differential equation:
\(b)
\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 .
(c)
\Observe the graph of the solution function :
\As tends to
, the function
approaches to
.
As tends to
, the function
approaches to
