Differential Equation Graph Application Overview
14-1 Differential Equation Graph Application Overview
This section explains how to use the Differential Equation Graph application screen, and describes the basic configuration of the Differential Equation Graph application windows.
Differential Equation Graph Application FeaturesYou can use the Differential Equation Graph application to draw the following types of graphs.
•Slope field of a first order differential equation (y’ = dy/dx = f(x, y))
•Solution curves when initial conditions are imposed on a first order differential equation
•Phase plane of two first order differential equations (x’ = dx/dt = f(x, y); y’ = dy/dt = f(x, y))
•Solution curves when initial conditions are imposed on a set of two first order differential equations
•Solution curves when initial conditions are imposed on a set of multiple first order differential equations (y1’ = dy1/dx = f(x, y) ; y2’ = dy2/dx = f(x, y) ; ... ; yn’ = dyn/dx = f(x, y))
