Just a question that came to my mind while studying differential equations.

Of-course this is a silly one (I think), but I wonder if someone can answer it!

Thanks :smile:

I'm not sure what you mean by "find" that family. A perfectly good answer is "the family of all f(x) such that f(1)= 1 and f'(1)= 1". But there are simply too many of them to be able to write a "formula".
 
Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
