ᕧ Select

EXPLR

from the

GRAPH

menu.

ᕨ Move the free-moving cursor to the initial

condition for which you want to solve.

/ *

" # ! $

ᕩ Draw the solution to

Q1

, using the cursor

coordinates (x,y) as initial condition
(

t

,

Q'1(t)

).

b

To continue drawing more solutions, move the free-moving cursor and then press b.

To stop using

EXPLR

, press ..

If

SlpFld

or

DirFld

is set, the axes are set to specific solutions automatically.

For

SlpFld

,

x=t

and

y=Q1

are set.

For

DirFld

,

x=Q1

and

y=Q2

are set.

If the axes are set to a specific solution

t

,

Q

n

, or

Q'

n

, that solution is drawn.

If the axes are not set to a specific solution and

t

is one variable and

Q

is the other,

Q1

is drawn.

If both axes are set to a

Q

variable, executing

EXPLR

results in an error.
