Note:

t is not valid for either Axis when

Fields=DIRFLD

. If you select t, an Invalid axes

error occurs when graphing.

Example of Time and Custom Axes

Using the predator-prey model from biology, determine the numbers of rabbits and foxes
that maintain population equilibrium in a certain region. Graph the solution using both
time and custom axes.

X Axis, Y Axis Active only when Axes = CUSTOM, these let you select

what you want to plot on the x and y axes.

t — time

y — solutions (y1, y2, etc.) of all selected differential
equations

y' — values of all selected differential equations (y1', y2',
etc.)

y1, y2, etc. — the solution to the corresponding differential
equation, regardless of whether that equation is selected

y1', y2', etc. — the value of the right-hand side of the
corresponding differential equation, regardless of whether
that equation is selected
