The slope field of the ODE
y' = Ay + {\color{teal}b}
is given below.
Determine \color{teal}b
.
\color{teal}b
=
B
At a given point (x_0,y_0)
, the slope field shows a tiny piece of the tangent
of a solution of the ODE, on which (x_0,y_0)
lies.
The slope of the tangent is determined by the value of the right-hand side of the ODE at the point (x_0,y_0)
.
At the point \color{red}y_0 = y_\infty = C
the tangent slopes are zero.
We solve
{\color{red}y'_\infty} = 0= negParens(A) \cdot
{\color{red}negParens(C)} + \color{teal}b
to find \color{teal}b
.
Thus, we get \color{teal}b = B
.
