Convert the second-order differential equation
1
into a first-order system in terms of y and v where v = dy/dt.
(a) Determine the vector field associated with the first-order system.
(b) Sketch enough
(c) Use HPGSystemSolver to sketch the associated direction field.
(d) Make a rough sketch of the phase portrait of the system and confirm your answer using HPGSystemsolver.
(e) Briefly describe the behavior of the solutions.
