Recall that a direction field (or slope field) for a differential equation of the form \(y'(t) = f(t, y)\) is a graphical representation that shows the slope of the solution curve at each point \((t, y)\) in the \(ty\)-plane.
In this problem, the differential equation is \(y'(t) = t + y(t)\), where the slope at any point depends on both the independent variable \(t\) and the dependent variable \(y\).
Since the slope depends on both \(t\) and \(y\), the direction field must be plotted in the \(ty\)-plane, where the horizontal axis represents \(t\) and the vertical axis represents \(y\).
At each point \((t, y)\) in this plane, a small line segment is drawn with slope equal to \(t + y\), visually indicating the direction of the solution curve passing through that point.
Therefore, the statement is true because the direction field for \(y'(t) = t + y(t)\) is indeed plotted in the \(ty\)-plane.

Direction Fields for Differential Equations

A direction field (or slope field) is a graphical representation of a first-order differential equation, showing small line segments with slopes given by the equation at various points. It helps visualize the behavior of solutions without solving the equation explicitly.

Understanding Slope Fields

Independent and Dependent Variables in Differential Equations

In a differential equation y'(t) = f(t, y), t is the independent variable (often representing time), and y(t) is the dependent variable. The direction field is typically plotted in the plane with axes representing these variables, usually the t-y plane.

Interpreting the ty-plane vs. t-y Plane

The notation 'ty-plane' can be ambiguous; the standard convention is to plot the direction field in the t-y plane, where the horizontal axis is t and the vertical axis is y. Understanding this helps determine if the statement about plotting in the 'ty-plane' is correct or not.

38–43. Equilibrium solutions A differential equation of the form y′(t)=f(y) is said to be autonomous (the function f depends only on y). The constant function y=y0 is an equilibrium solution of the equation provided f(y0)=0 (because then y'(t)=0 and the solution remains constant for all t). Note that equilibrium solutions correspond to horizontal lines in the direction field. Note also that for autonomous equations, the direction field is independent of t. Carry out the following analysis on the given equations.

a. Find the equilibrium solutions.
