Textbook Question
Chapter 21, Problem 25P
A transportation engineering study requires that you determine the number of cars that pass through an intersection travelingduring morning rush hour. You stand at the side of the road andcount the number of cars that pass every 4 minutes at several timesas tabulated below. Use the best numerical method to determine
(a) The total number of cars that pass between 7:30 and 9:15, and
(b) The rate of cars going through the intersection per minute.(Hint: Becareful with units.)
| Time (hr) | 7:30 | 7:45 | 8:00 | 8:15 | 8:45 | 9:15 |
| Rate (cars per 4 min) | 18 | 24 | 14 | 24 | 21 | 9 |

4. Direction Fields/Phase Portraits. Use the given direction fields to plot solution curves
to each of the given initial value problems.
(a)
x = x+2y
1111
y = -3x+y
with x(0) = 1, y(0) = -1
(b) Consider the initial value problem corresponding to the given phase portrait.
x = y
y' = 3x + 2y
Draw two "straight line solutions"
passing through (0,0)
(c) Make guesses for the equations of the straight line solutions: y = ax.
