Direction field
Do anybody have a hint for drawing direction field of a non-autonomous differential equation? I mean do I have to calculate as many slopes of points as possible, then draw it?

Also,
Can I conclude that if we use Euler's Method to estimate a CONCAVE UP/ CONCAVE DOWN solution of differential equation, the estimation will be underestimate/overestimate?

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
