Slope Fields and Verifying Differential Equations

Slope Fields and Verifying Differential Equations is a part of the VCE Specialist Maths topic Calculus and subtopic Differential Equations. In this post, we will learn to sketch the graph of a particular solution given a direction field and initial conditions:

  • Form a direction field (slope field) from simple first-order differential equations
  • Recognise the shape of a direction field from several alternatives given the form of a differential equation, and vice versa
  • Sketch several possible solution curves on a given direction field
