Determine which graph shows the solution of the given initial
value problem without actually solving the problem.
dy
 x
dx
y  1  1
The correct graph:
(–1,1)
Can you explain
why this is the
correct graph???
An equation like
dy
 y ln x
dx
containing a derivative is a differential equation.
Initial Value Problem – the problem of finding a function
y of x when given its derivative and its value at a particular
point.
Initial Condition – the value of f for one value of x.
Solution to the Differential Equation – all of the
functions y that satisfy the differential equation.
Solution to the Initial Value Problem – a particular
solution that fulfills the initial condition.
An equation like
dy
 y ln x
dx
containing a derivative is a differential equation.
Differential equations from previous chapters???
 Implicit differentiation yields differential
equations
 Related rates equations are differential
equations
First New Example
Suppose $100 is invested in an account that pays 5.6%
interest compounded continuously. Find a formula for the
amount in the account at any time t.
Let t = 0 when the initial $100 is deposited in the account
We can model this situation with the initial value problem:
dy
 0.056 y
dx
y  0   100
First New Example
Suppose $100 is invested in an account that pays 5.6%
interest compounded continuously. Find a formula for the
amount in the account at any time t.
dy
 0.056 y
dx
We need a function whose derivative is a
constant multiple of itself…
 Exponential functions have this property!
…because:
y  t   Ce
0.056t
dy

First New Example
Suppose $100 is invested in an account that pays 5.6%
interest compounded continuously. Find a formula for the
amount in the account at any time t.
Now, apply the initial condition:
y  t   Ce
y  0   100
0.056t
 0.056 0
100  Ce
100  C
In this case,
y  t   100e
0.056t
First New Example
Suppose $100 is invested in an account that pays 5.6%
interest compounded continuously. Find a formula for the
amount in the account at any time t.
In general, each member of the family of functions
y  t   Ce
0.056t
is a solution of the differential equation
dy
 0.056 y

Let’s learn how to “see” this
family of functions…
Definition: Slope Field (Direction Field)
A slope field or direction field for the first order
differential equation
dy
 f  x, y 
dx
is a plot of short line segments with slopes
for a lattice of points x, y in the plane.


f  x, y 
They are useful for “seeing” solutions to
differential equations even when explicit
solutions are difficult to come by…
