- For the following two-population system, first describe the type of x- and y-populations involved (exponential or logistic) and the nature of their interaction-competition, cooperation, or predation. Then find and characterize the system's critical points (as to type and stability). Determine what nonzero x- and y-populations can coexist. Finally, construct a phase plane portrait that enables you to describe the long-term behavior of the two populations in terms of their initial populations x(0) and y(0). dx dt dy dt=xy-4y = 5xy-10x CICCES Describe the type of x- and y-populations involved. Select the correct choice below. OA. The populations involved are naturally declining populations in competition. OB. The populations involved are naturally growing populations in cooperation. OC. The populations involved are naturally declining populations in cooperation. OD. The populations involved are naturally growing populations in competition.arrow_forwardThe survival of two species depends on their mutual cooperation. For instance, a species of bee that feeds primarily on the nectar of one plant species and simultaneously pollinates the plant. One simple model of mutualism is given by dx/xt = −ax + bxydy/dt = −my + nxy where a, b, m, and n are all positive constants. Perform a graphical analysis and indicate the trajectory directions in the phase plane.arrow_forwardThe Lotka-Volterra model is often used to characterize predator-prey interactions. For example, if R is the population of rabbits (which reproduce autocatlytically), G is the amount of grass available for rabbit food (assumed to be constant), L is the population of Lynxes that feeds on the rabbits, and D represents dead lynxes, the following equations represent the dynamic behavior of the populations of rabbits and lynxes: R+G→ 2R (1) L+R→ 2L (2) (3) Each step is irreversible since, for example, rabbits cannot turn back into grass. a) Write down the differential equations that describe how the populations of rabbits (R) and lynxes (L) change with time. b) Assuming G and all of the rate constants are unity, solve the equations for the evolution of the animal populations with time. Let the initial values of R and L be 20 and 1, respectively. Plot your results and discuss how the two populations are related.arrow_forward
- (b) A dynamical system is governed by two equations: (a) Find critical points of this system. |x=y, [y=In(x² + y)-3y. Here a dot on the top of a symbol stands for the derivative with respect to t. (c) Using linearisation of the system in the neighbourhood of each critical point, determine the nature of the critical points. Draw qualitatively but neatly these critical points and corresponding trajectory diagrams.arrow_forwardDraw the phase portraits of the following linear systems and justify the choice of the direction of trajectories. (4.1) * = ( 13 1³ ) *. X, -3 (4.2) = *-(34)x X.arrow_forwardTwo children weighing 15 and 22 kilograms are sitting on opposite sides of a seesaw, both 2 meters from the axis of rotation. Where on the seesaw should a 10-kilogram child sit in order to achieve equilibrium?The 10-kilogram child should sit on the same side as the ? kilogram child, ? meter(s) from the axis of rotation.arrow_forward
- A jet flies in a parabolic arc to simulate partial weightlessness. The curve shown in the figure represents the plane's height y (in 1000 ft) versus the time t (in sec). a. For each ordered pair, substitute the t and y values into the model y = at2 + bt + c to form a linear equation with three unknowns a, b, and c. Together, these form a system of three linear equations with three unknowns. b. Use a graphing utility to solve for a, b, and c. c. Substitute the known values of a, b, and c into the model y = at2 + bt + c. d. Determine the vertex of the parabola. e. Determine the focal length of the parabola.

(ii) Find all nullclines of system (5) and sketch them in the x- y plane, clearly showing the location of the steady states.arrow_forwardMatch each linear system with one of the phase plane direction fields.

- Find the Nullclines and equilibria for the system and sketch the phase plane.arrow_forwardDraw the phase diagram of the system; list all the equilibrium points; determine the stability of the equilibrium points; and describe the outcome of the system from various initial points. You should consider all four quadrants of the xy-plane. Include the coordinate axes; all the isoclines; all the equilibrium points; the allowed directions of motion (both vertical and horizontal) in all the regions into which the isoclines divide the xx plane; direction of motion along isoclines, where applicable. dx dt || 7-y₁ dy dt =x-7.arrow_forwardAn important concern in the study of heat transfer is to determine the steady-state temperature distribution of a thin plate when the temperature around the boundary is known. The figure represents a cross section of a metal beam, with negligible heat flow in the direction perpendicular to the plate.arrow_forward
