Plotting the Solution

A plot of the solution given by DSolve can give useful information about the nature of the solution, for instance, whether it is oscillatory in nature. It can also serve as a means of solution verification if the shape of the graph is known from theory or from plotting the vector field associated with the differential equation. A few examples that use different Mathematica graphics functions follow.
Here is the general solution to a linear first-order equation.

Out[1]=
The solution can be plotted for specific values of the constant C[1] using Plot. The use of Evaluate reduces the time taken by Plot and can also help in cases where the solution has discontinuities.
