The graph of the function f is shown in the first set of axe
The graph of the function f is shown in the first set of axes below. On the second, set of axes, sketch the graph of the solution of the initial value problem {dy/dx=f (x) y(0)=1 your graph should captivate the monotonicity and concavity of the solution.
Solution
From x=0 to x=5
The graph of y\' = x
dy/dx = x
Seperating the variables and integrating both sides we get
y = x^2/2 + C
Using the initial conditions we get y=x^2/2, from x=0 to x=5
From x=5 to x = 10
y\' = 10 - x
y = 10x - x^2/2 + C
The function must be continuous at x=5, hence we get
25/2 = 50 - 25/2 + C
C = -25
Hence the final solution to the differential equation will be
y = x^2/2 from x=0 to x=5
y = 10x - x^2/2 - 25 from x=5 to x=10
