Problem
The slope field for dxdy=x2−y has arrows that are horizontal along the parabola y=x2, point downward when y>x2, and point upward when y<x2. Choose one initial point (x0,y0) with y0>x02 such that the corresponding solution curve will first decrease toward the parabola, reach a minimum on it, and then increase for all larger x. State your chosen point and briefly justify the predicted qualitative behavior.
