For the differential equation dydx=x2−1\dfrac{dy}{dx}=x^{2}-1, the slope field shows negative slopes where −1<x<1-1<x<1 and positive slopes elsewhere. Which initial point would yield a solution curve that is initially decreasing but eventually becomes increasing as xx grows? a) (−2,2)(-2,2) b) (0,2)(0,2) c) (1,2)(1,2) d) (−2,−2)(-2,-2)
