1. Press
3
and set
Graph=DIFF EQUATIONS
.
2. Define a system of equations
for the 2nd-order equation as
described on page 186.
Rewrite the equation and
make the necessary
substitutions.
3. In the Y= Editor (
¥#
),
enter the system of equations.
4. Enter the initial conditions:
yi1=0
and
yi2=1

8. Display the Graph screen
(

If you select
ZoomSqr
(

), you can see that the phase-plane orbit
is actually a circle. However,
ZoomSqr
will change your Window
variables.
Example of a 2nd-Order Equation
The 2nd-order differential equation y''+y = 0 represents a
simple harmonic oscillator. Transform this into a system of
equations for the Y= Editor. Then, graph the solution for initial
conditions y(0) = 0 and y'(0) = 1.
Example
Note: t0 is the time at which
the initial conditions occur. It
is also the first t evaluated
for the graph. By default,
t0=0.
Important: For 2nd-order
equations, you must set
Fields=
DIRFLD
or
FLDOFF
.
Important:
Fields=

cannot plot a time axis. An
Invalid Axes
error occurs if

or if t is set as a
CUSTOM
axis.
