Solution
The first step in solving 11.4 problem number 33 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Figure 11.42 shows the slope field for dy/dx = y2. (a) Sketch the solutions that pass through the points (i) (0, 1) (ii) (0, 1) (iii) (0, 0) (b) In words, describe the end behavior of the solution curves in part (a). (c) Find a formula for the general solution. (d) Show that all solution curves except for y = 0 have both a horizontal and a vertical asymptote.
From the textbook chapter SEPARATION OF VARIABLES you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
