Differential Equation Plots

Differential equation plotting is covered in detail in chapter 19. For
an additional example of a differential equation plot, install TEFiCH (if
necessary), and then press

E X A M P L O T S DiEQ :

Special Notes

■ The Diff Eq plot type uses the a x e s element of PPAR in a special

way. It expects the two strings that normally contain axis-labels
to each contain an integer. The integers indicate wdiich solution

component to plot on each axis (“0” indicates the independent

variable, “1" indicates the first (or only) solution component,

“2" indicates the second solution component (for a vector-valued

solution), and so forth.

Conic Plots

The equation for a conic section is second degree or less in both x and

y . For example, the following equations are all valid equations for

plotting conic sections:

-F j/^ -F 4* -F 2t/ — 5 = 0 (circle)

5*2 -F 3j/2 - 18 = 0

*2 _ 4x -F 3?/ -F 2 = 0

(ellipse)

(parabola)

2*2 _ 3y2 3y _ 5 = 0 (hyperbola)
