The directional field for in shown in figure 1.12.
(a) Verify that the straight lines are solution curves, provided .
(b) Sketch the solution curve with initial condition y (0) = 2.
(c) Sketch the solution curve with initial condition y(2) = 1.
(d) What can you say about the behaviour of the above solution as ? How about ?

Let denote the solution to the initial value problem
猞 Show that
猞 Argue that the graph of is decreasing for x near zero and that as x increases from zero, decreases until it crosses the line y = x, where its derivative is zero.
猞 Let x* be the abscissa of the point where the solution curve crosses the line .Consider the sign of and argue that has a relative minimum at x*.
猞 What can you say about the graph of for x > x*?
猞 Verify that y = x 鈥 1 is a solution to and explain why the graph of always stays above the line .
猞 Sketch the direction field for by using the method of isoclines or a computer software package.
猞 Sketch the solution using the direction field in part (f).
Nonlinear Spring.The Duffing equation where ris a constant is a model for the vibrations of amass attached to a nonlinearspring. For this model, does the period of vibration vary as the parameter ris varied?
Does the period vary as the initial conditions are varied? [Hint:Use the vectorized Runge鈥揔utta algorithm with h= 0.1 to approximate the solutions for r= 1 and 2,
with initial conditions for a = 1, 2, and 3.]
