Follow the local slopes

Every short field segment gives the derivative at its x-coordinate. A valid solution curve stays tangent to those directions throughout one connected domain interval.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Connect dy/dx = F(x) to local tangent directions and sketch a domain-safe solution curve.

Worked example

If y'=2x, what curves follow the field?

Every curve y=x²+C follows the field.

Changing C translates the curve vertically without changing its derivative.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Use the field segments as tangent guides.
  • Do not cross an excluded x-value or pole.
  • Different connected domain intervals may use different constants.
