Step 1
1 of 3

At any point dxdt\dfrac{dx}{dt} is the xx component of the velocity.

At any point dydt\dfrac{dy}{dt} is the yy component of the velocity.

Here it is given that Velocity at the point (x,y(x, y) is F(x,y)= i +x j \textbf{F}(x, y) = \textbf{ i }+x\textbf{ j }

Note that, the xx component of the velocity is 11 and

the yy-component of the velocity is xx

Therefore, we can write the following differential equations

dxdt=1(1)\dfrac{dx}{dt} = 1 \rightarrow \textbf{(1)}

dydt=x(2)\dfrac{dy}{dt} = x \rightarrow \textbf{(2)}
