Chapter 8.7, Problem 7E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A computer generated phase portrait is to be plotted for the system $\dot{\text{θ}}\text{ = sint - sinθ, }\dot{\text{t}}\text{ = 1}\text{.}$

Concept Introduction:

The trajectories of the dynamic system are called phase portrait.

Phase portrait gives the qualitative behavior of the solutions of a differential equation.

It can be plotted using a computer.
