Differential Equations: Direction Fields

(a) Sketch the solution curve that passes through (0,-2) in the direction field for (dy/dx)= 2x + y.

(b) Sketch the solution curve that passes through (-1,3) in the direction field for (dy/dx)= 2x + y.

(c) What can you say about the solution in part (b) as x approaches positive infinity? How about when x approaches negative infinity?

Okay, what do you have for that?

Anik, did you see the "sticky thread"? Homework problems should go the PF forum called "Homework", and you are expected to show some work.
