18.6. Draw three solution curves to the differential equation given in Problem 18.4.
A direction field for this equation is given by Fig. 18-5. Three solution curves are shown in Fig. 18-7, the top
one passes through (0, 1), the middle curve passes through (0, 0), and the bottom curve passes through (0, -1).
Observe that each solution curve follows the flow of the line elements in the direction field.
