A slope field for dydx=y(y2)\dfrac{dy}{dx} = y(y-2) is shown. The equilibrium y=0y = 0 is stable, while y=2y = 2 is unstable. A solution starts at y(0)=3y(0) = 3. What happens to yy as xx \to \infty?

A.yy increases without bound.
B.yy approaches 22.
C.yy approaches 00.
D.yy decreases without bound.

Explanation

Core Concept

Above y=2y=2 the slope y(y2)y(y-2) is positive, so a solution starting at 33 keeps rising and never returns toward y=2y=2.

Correct Answer

Ayy increases without bound.
