a.    Explain the relationship between x· and x relative to x increasing/decreasing.

b.    Explain the relationship between x·· and x·  relative to x· increasing/decreasing.

c.    Explain the relationship between x··  and concavity, relative to x vs t.

d.    Define an inflection point, how it is found and its relevance to x vs t graph and show its relevance to x·.

2. Solve by separation of variables and plot the solution of the ODE:
dx   
— x· = a1x–2; t≥1,x(1)=3/α11>2,x≥1.
dt

3. Solve the equation:x·=-Rln(x),t≥0,x>0,R>0,x(0)=x0·
