The amount of money in a savings account is given by the function A(t), where t is measured in years and A is measured in dollars. The rate of change of money is proportional to the square root of the current amount of money. When the account contains 10,000, the amount of money is increasing at
1,000/year. What is t...
The acceleration of a racing car is proportional to the position of the car times the time passed. After 2 seconds, the car has traveled 12 meters and the acceleration is 6 meters per second per second. If x(t) is the position of the car, what is the differential equation that represents the situation?

Given that for all real numbers where both sides are defined, what can be concluded about the graph of the differential equation's solutions?
The solutions decrease whenever they cross the line where , for any constant k.
The solutions increase whenever they cross the line where , for any constant k.
There are no points where the slope of solution curves is zero because never equals zero.
Solution curves have horizontal asymptotes since approaches zero as y increases without bound.
