Be sure to set the axes tight around the quiver plot, set the unit length of the axes to be equal, label the axes, and title the graph. | Use Matlab's //ode45// function to compute solution curves //y(t)// for each of the following initial conditions, and superimposed the solution curves on the quiver plot in the indicated colors //y(0) = -1// in red, //y(0) = 0// in blue , //y(0) = 1// in black.

| - | ===== Problem 3 ===== | + | (b) Put your work for part (a) in a script file, and run the script for a range of values of $\mu$ between -1 and 1. How does the character of the solutions of the equation change as $\mu$ passes through 0? Turn in plots for a negative, zero, and a positive value of $\mu$, whichever values you think best illustrate the change as $\mu$ passes through zero. |
