Question: The direction field for d x d t = 4 t - 2 x t = f ( t , x ) i s shown

The direction field for
dxdt=4t-2xt=f(t,x)
is shown below.
(a) For all points given in the table: (i) compute the slope dxdtof solutions x(t) going through
that point. Highlight the vector with that slope at that point in the direction field. Does the
slope of that vector agree (roughly) with the one you computed?
(b) One can show that x(t)=t2+Ct2is a family of solutions to the ODE. Sketch the graphs ofx(t)
for C=0,1,-1 below, using the method of graphing by superposition we went over in class.
Include the point on the graph with t=1.
C=0,C=1,C=-1
(c) Add solution curves (integral curves)to the vector field corresponding toC=0,1,-11,x(1)
