Construct a tangent field for y'=1+x+y. I just need someone to check if I'm on the right track. see attachment for picture

@UnkleRhaukus

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

what method are you using there

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

see attachment for pic. I just want to see if I'm on the right track

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

ummm manual like pick any point and plug in

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

wouldn't it be more fun to solve the DE?

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

I had to get the tangent field first

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

which are those lines

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

is it right???

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

oh and then it was like get the antiderivative which is like the linear solution of the equation

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

I almost got the answer which is y = -x-2 but something went off a bit. I'll draw it on paint and get it here.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

what are those the blue horizontals on your graph?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

thats very close, but you must remmber the constant of integration

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

when the slope is 0, it produces a horizontal line which is why I drew it blue

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

ah yes w, the blue horizontals are for when the constant of integration is zero

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

the answer is y = -x-2 but I'm wondering how they even got rid of the squared part or is that just individual ?!?!?!

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

thats not right

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

oh so how does it work?

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

wait is my graph in the right direction

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

alright the whole question is Construct a tangent field for y' =1+x+y. Find a linear solution by inspection of the3 tangent field and check it in the equation.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

I've read the book and i saw anti-derivative

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

:O crap you mean I did all those lines for jacks?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

if all the blue line were as ive drawn them, then they would fit the pattern of the other red line on tht upper right of the graph

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

ok but doesn't the lines create a curve?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

i think ive worked the problem out

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

where do I go from here? I know dx x and dy y have to be in their own groups.
