Example of a 3rd-Order Equation
For the 3rd-order differential equation
y'''+2y''+2y'+y = sin(x)
, write a system of equations
to enter in the Y= Editor. Then graph the solution as a function of time. Use initial
conditions
y(0) = 0
,
y'(0) = 1
, and
y''(0) = 1
.
14. In the Window Editor, change
ymin
and
ymax
as shown to the right.
Note:
When you enter 2
-graph
mode,
Window variables for the right side are set
to their defaults.
ymin=
L
2.
ymax=2 .
15. Press

screen for graph #2.
The left side shows the phase-plane orbit.
The right side shows the solution curve
and its derivative.
