The statement "if a system can be solved, it is easier to find the solution and then create a phase portrait" is generally false.
A phase portrait is a graphical representation of the solutions to a system of differential equations or dynamical system.
It provides information about the behavior of the system over time.
In many cases, it may be difficult or impossible to find explicit solutions to a system of differential equations analytically.
In such cases, numerical methods or qualitative analysis, such as creating a phase portrait, may be used to understand the system's behavior.
So, the process is often the opposite: create a phase portrait to gain insights into the behavior of the system since finding explicit solutions may not always be straightforward or possible. Therefore, the correct answer is "false."
