The product rule and chain rule give . At zero the slope is zero and the curve passes through . Consequently the tangent line is
For independent fair dice, the probability of avoiding one on each die is . ThereforeThe complement of an event gives
For this separable differential equation, away from , separation gives , or on a connected interval. The initial condition gives , henceThe maximal interval containing on which this solves the printed differential equation is . Although the linear formula extends through one, the right-hand side there is and the original equation is undefined. The equilibrium solution , lost if one divides by , does not satisfy the initial condition.
Put . The values , , and give the Taylor expansionThe factorial in the quadratic term accounts for its coefficient .
