DifferentialEquations To DirectionFields

Direction fields provide a graphical representation of differential equations by showing the slope or direction of change at different points in a plane. Examples are given of direction fields for common differential equations and their uses in fields like space travel, robotics, and sports are discussed.

Objectives

 What are Direction Fields?


 Uses of Direction Fields in Daily Life.
 How to Find?
 Example Questions.
 Direction Fields in Technology.
 Direction Fields

Direction field is a graphical representation of


Differential Equations.
 Direction Fields

 Measure of the steepness of the a line.


 In math, Slope is defined from Left to Right.
If the pilot doesn’t change something, he / she will not make it
home for Holidays.
Consider the options:

1) Keep the same direction of his / her path.


Consider the options:

1) Keep the same direction of his / her path.

Not a good choice!

2) Go straight up.
Fortunately, there is a way to measure a proper
“direction or slope” to clear the obstacle.

We measure the “change in height” required


and divide that by the “horizontal change” required.

x

y
Example 1:
dy/dx = - ( x / y ), 3 >y >-3, where 2> x >-2

x y -(x/y) x y -(x/y) x y -(x/y)

-1 -2 -0.5 0 -2 0 1 -2 0.5
-1 -1 -1 0 -1 0 1 -1 1
-1 0 Un-D 0 0 0 1 0 Un-D
-1 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 -1
-1 2 0.5 0 2 0 1 2 -0.5
Example 2:
y = x^4 (y - 2) , where 4> y >-4 & 2> x >-2

x y X^4(y-2) x y X^4(y-2) x y X^4(y-2)


Example 3:
y = -(xy^2)/2 , 3 >x> -2, & 3 >y> -1

x y -(xy^2/y) x y -(xy^2)/y

x y -(xy^2)/y x y -(xy^2)/y
Example 4:
y = -2x / y , 2 >x> -2, & 3 >y> -3

x y -2x / y x y -2x / y x y -2x / y


Example 5:
y = (1+y) / x, 2 >x> -2, & 3 >y> -3, where x is not equal to zero.

x y (1 + y) / x x y (1 + y) / x
