Solutions include their mathematical boundaries

Worked keys preserve equilibrium branches, maximal intervals, recurrence rounding, integrating factors, and carrying-capacity interpretations wherever they apply.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Derive linear and logistic formulas while identifying equilibria, units, and long-term behavior.

Worked example

What belongs in a complete differential-equation solution?

The governing equation, valid solution steps, initial-condition substitution, and any interval, units, equilibrium, or approximation label.

The worked key keeps the method and interpretation visible instead of presenting only a final expression.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Check a symbolic solution by substitution into the differential equation.
  • Keep exact formulas separate from Euler approximations.
  • Ask what the result means on the original interval and in the stated units.
