Hello
everything follows up well, but when I compare the result (eq. 5) with the numerical solution of eq. 1, then are different. Where is the mistake? eq. 3?
thanks

The mistake is in the integration of eq.[3] because
exp(kt)dx isn't equal to d(x exp(kt) )
So, Eq.[4] is false.
Do not forget that t is function of x.
t(x) is the reciprocal function of x(t)
So you would have to integrate exp(kt(x))dx, not simply exp(kt)dx with t constant.
 
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...
