Graphical Solutions to Initial-Value Problems

Numerical solutions can be plotted. To view the solution to the initial-value problem y = sin xy, y(0) = 3, enter the two equations into a 2×1 matrix, and choose Numeric from the Solve ODE submenu.

$\blacktriangleright$ Solve ODE + Numeric

y = sin xy
y(0) = 3
, Functions defined: y

Now plot y by choosing Rectangular from the Plot 2D submenu.


For the plot below, on the Plot Components page of the Plot Properties dialog, change Domain Interval to 0 < x < 5 and set Line Color to Red.

$\blacktriangleright$ Plot 2D + Rectangular
