how to create direction field for ode?
Show older comments
hi there
my equation is: x^2*(dy/dx)+ x*y =1;
i want to draw the direction field of first-order linear ODE
the code for direction field is:
------------------------------------
clear;
dist1=linspace(-10,10,80);
[x,y]=meshgrid(dist1);
dydx=((1-x.*y)./x^2);
v=sqrt(1+dydx^2);
quiver(x,y,1./v,dydx./v,'m');
result is dummy :

----------------------------------but when i solve the eqn :y= (log(x)+c1)./x
and with plot command i draw these graphs.
question:how coud i produce direction field which is compatible with graphs and where is the code mistake?

syms y(t)
ode = diff(y)+4*y == exp(-t);
cond = y(0) == 1;
ySol(t) = dsolve(ode,cond)
