For our first actual example, we're going to pretend this random differential equation with initial conditions that I just got from my textbook yields a solution that's very important to an engineer or scientist.

The question is: If we have a single positive charge in space, then the electric field at some point is inversely proportional to the distance from that charge squared. Now, if we double that distance from the origin on that same axis, what kind of behavior will we find for the electric field?
