Differential Equations
If the function is differentiable at , which of the following must also be true?
The derivative equals zero.
The function is not differentiable for any other value except at .
The function is continuous at .
The function has a local maximum or minimum at .
For what value(s) of k does the particular solution y(k) intersect with its slope field at generated by ?
All non-zero values of k result in intersections between particular solutions and their respective slope fields since simplifies into just showing consistent negative slopes across all values other than zero which generates no slope (flat line).
Any positive value of k creates intersections with their corresponding slope fields at since they produce matching slopes through direct substitution into formula when .
No such k exists as any real value would either yield an undefined or unbounded slope at due to division by zero or subtraction from itself respectively.
Only provides such an intersection as it neutralizes both terms resulting in a flat slope field along lines including .

Which method would be most appropriate to verify that is a solution to the differential equation ?
Using separation of variables on the differential equation.
Performing implicit differentiation on .
Substituting into the differential equation and simplifying.
Applying partial fractions decomposition technique on .
How does knowing that influence our understanding of the differential equation formed by ?
It indicates that solutions to this differential equation are unaffected by variations in related through function since multiplying anything by zero results in zero.
Zeroing out one term lets us focus more directly on properties intrinsic solely to just those involving variable 's dependence connection via , disregarding contributions that could potentially come from the otherwise multiplied element's secondary curvature rate change. It serves as a principal determinant characterizing the overall behavior of paths taken by particles—physical systems modeled using such DEs when considered in the context of motion under forces described by .
For a logistic growth model described by , where would you start verifying whether is a solution?
Substitute into , simplify completely, then check consistency with original model.
