Graphical solution of first-order ODE
When we can not obtain a closed-form solution for the integral, we can always
plot the integral by selecting Diff Eq in the TYPE field of the PLOT
environment as follows: suppose that we want to plot the position x(t) for a
velocity function v(t) = exp(-t
2
), with x = 0 at t = 0. We know there is no
closed-form expression for the integral, however, we know that the definition of
v(t) is dx/dt = exp(-t
2
).
The calculator allows for the plotting of the solution of differential equations of
the form Y'(T) = F(T,Y). For our case, we let Y = x and T = t, therefore, F(T,Y) =
f(t, x) = exp(-t
2
). Let's plot the solution, x(t), for t = 0 to 5, by using the following
