Problem 67

One of the key ideas for sketching solutions from vector field plots is that a solution curve must be monotonic, that is, \(x(t)\) is either increasing or decreasing or constant but cannot switch from one behavior to another. We showed that a solution \(x(t)\) could not start by increasing and then switch to decreasing. Suppose that \(x(t)\) is a solution of the differential equation \(\frac{d x}{d t}=g(x)\) and that \(x(t)\) starts off decreasing with time. Show that \(x(t)\) cannot switch to increasing.
