The slope field of the ODE
y' = C y^2 - TTy + DD
is given below.
Determine \color{red}\alpha
and
\color{blue}\beta
.
\color{red}\alpha
=
A
\color{blue}\beta
=
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 points \color{red}\alpha
und \color{blue}\beta
the tangent slopes are zero.
We search for the zeros on the right-hand side of the ODE
y' = C y^2 - TTy + DD
. .
With y' = C y^2 - TTy + DD =
C\left(y^2 - Ty + D \right) =
C (y- A) (y- B)
one gets \color{red}\alpha = A
and \color{blue}\beta = B
.
