Graphing a First Order Differential Equation

Configuring Solution Curve Graph Settings

You can specify whether or not a solution curve should be drawn for each initial condition input on the initial condition editor. You can also specify either a normal or thick line for solution curves.

uTo configure the solution curve draw setting

Use the initial condition editor to select the check box to the left of each initial condition input box (Initial Condition 1, Initial Condition 2, etc.) whose solution curve you want to graph. The solution curve of any initial condition whose check box is not selected will not be graphed.

Example: To perform the operation under “Inputting Initial Conditions and Graphing the Solution Curves of a First Order Differential Equation” on page 14-2-3, clear the Initial Condition 2 checkbox, and then draw the graph

uTo specify the line thickness for drawing a solution curve

(1)Tap the input box of the initial condition whose line thickness you want to change.

This displays the cursor in the initial condition input box you tapped.
