14. (A) What Does it Mean for Something to be a Solution to an Equation?
(i) Is x = −1/5 a solution to the equation 4x + 7 = 2x – 3 ?
(ii) State all solutions to the equation x2 – x = 12.
(iii) Is x = 4 a solution to the equation 3ex = 12 ?
(B) What Information About a Function is Revealed Through Its First Derivative?
g’(x) = –8 –6x2.
Gordon looked at the derivative of g(x) and shouted, “The function g is always decreasing!” How did he know?

16. What is a Solution to a Differential Equation?
A general solution to a differential equation is a family of functions that satisfies a given differential equation.
A particular solution to a differential equation (also called the solution to an initial-value problem) is a particular function that satisfies both a given differential equation and some specified ordered pair for the function.
