Find maximal integral curve for $x \frac{d}{dx}$ on $\mathbb{R}$

597 Views Asked by At

I need t find the maximal integral curve starting at point $p \in \mathbb{R}$ of a vector field $x \frac{d}{dx}$ on $\mathbb{R}$.

Now, I know that for finding the integral field, I need to solve $$\frac{dx}{dt} = x $$

Solving them will give these two equations :- $$\ln x = t + c_1 \space $$ So the integral curve would be $x(t) = \exp(t+ c_1)$

I don't get what to do with this to find the maximal integral curve. In general how do we find the maximal integral curves?
