TIME

— Plots

t

on the x axis and

y

(solutions to all

selected differential equations) on the y axis.

CUSTOM

— Lets you select the x and y axes.

X Axis

Y Axis

Active only when

Axes

CUSTOM

, these let you select

what you want to plot on the x and y axes.

t

— time

y

— solutions (

y1

,

y2

, etc.) of all selected differential

equations

y'

— values of all selected differential equations (

y1'

,

y2'

, etc.)

y1

,

y2

, etc. — the solution to the corresponding

differential equation, regardless of whether that
equation is selected

y1'

,

y2'

, etc. — the value of the right-hand side of the

corresponding differential equation, regardless of
whether that equation is selected

Setting Axes for Time or Custom Plots

Setting the axes can give you great flexibility in graphing
differential equations. Custom axes are particularly effective
for showing different kinds of relationships.
