Fig. 1: Isoclines (blue), slope field (black), and some solution curves (red) of y' = xy. The solution curves are y = C e x 2 / 2 {\displaystyle y=Ce^{x^{2}/2}} . Given a family of curves , assumed to be differentiable , an isocline for that family is formed by the set of points at which some member of the family attains a given slope .
the slope field is an array of slope marks in the phase space (in any number of dimensions depending on the number of relevant variables; for example, two in the case of a first-order linear ODE, as seen to the right). Each slope mark is centered at a point (,,, …,) and is parallel to the vector
This sequence takes a particularly simple form for prime k: 2 ⋅ 2 k − 1 − 1 / k . For example: 2 ⋅ 2 13 − 1 − 1 / 13 = 630 is the number of cycles of length 13. Since this case of the logistic map is chaotic for almost all initial conditions, all of these finite-length cycles are unstable.
Slope illustrated for y = (3/2)x − 1.Click on to enlarge Slope of a line in coordinates system, from f(x) = −12x + 2 to f(x) = 12x + 2. The slope of a line in the plane containing the x and y axes is generally represented by the letter m, [5] and is defined as the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate, between two distinct points on the line.
The following procedure provides a method that may be used to determine the displacement and slope at a point on the elastic curve of a beam using the moment-area theorem. Determine the reaction forces of a structure and draw the M/EI diagram of the structure.
For r = 3 and s = 2, the formula tells us that any permutation of three numbers has an increasing subsequence of length three or a decreasing subsequence of length two. Among the six permutations of the numbers 1,2,3: 1,2,3 has an increasing subsequence consisting of all three numbers; 1,3,2 has a decreasing subsequence 3,2
This method is similar to the tabulated values method, but rather than obtaining a numeric solution, the outcome is an equation in terms of x. [5] It is important to understanding where the slope of the influence line changes for this method because the influence-line equation will change for each linear section of the influence line.
For example, if the feasible region is defined by the constraint set {x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0}, then the problem of maximizing x + y has no optimum since any candidate solution can be improved upon by increasing x or y; yet if the problem is to minimize x + y, then there is an optimum (specifically at (x, y) = (0, 0)).
