Tangent Line Slope From a Differential Equation

Question

Let $$y = f(x)$$ be a function that is a solution to the differential equation $$\frac{dy}{dx} = x^2 + y^2$$. If the graph of $$f$$ passes through the points $$(0, 0)$$ and $$(1, 1)$$, which of the following must be true?

Accepted Answer

The graph of $$f$$ has a horizontal tangent line at $$(0, 0)$$ and slope 2 at $$(1, 1)$$.

Answer

The function $$f$$ is decreasing at both points.

Answer

Both points are critical points of $$f$$.

Answer

The graph of $$f$$ has slope 1 at both points.
