    Summary of essential material


    Here are some useful properties of certain trigonometric functions that may be useful:

    tan2 (𝑥) + 1 = sec2 (𝑥)

    and ∫
    sec2 (𝑥) 𝑑𝑥 = tan(𝑥) + 𝐶.

    (a) On the direction field draw the graphs of two solutions of 𝑑𝑦/𝑑𝑥 = 𝑓 (𝑥), where one
    solution 𝑦 = 𝑔(𝑥) passes through the point (0, 1) and the other solution 𝑦 = ℎ(𝑥) satisfies
    the equation ℎ(1) = 0.
    (b) Do the graphs of 𝑦 = 𝑔(𝑥) and 𝑦 = ℎ(𝑥) intersect? If not, why not?

    being positive in summer and negative in winter. Let 𝑥(𝑡) be the size of the population at time 𝑡,
    which is measured in years. The following differential equation is suggested as a model for this
    situation:
