Interpretation:
The system
Concept Introduction:
V is contracting and contains a unique periodic solution, and this cycle is an attractor if all values of the
V is expanding and contains a unique periodic solution, and this cycle is a repellent if for all values of the
When the nullclines of the system equation pinch together and are no longer defined in some interval of time, then the system has no periodic solution for the system equation

- What situations are best modeled by a logistic equation? Give an example, and state a case for why the example is a good fit.arrow_forwardTable 2 shows a recent graduate’s credit card balance each month after graduation. a. Use exponential regression to fit a model to these data. b. If spending continues at this rate, what will the graduate’s credit card debt be one year after graduating?arrow_forwardDoes a linear, exponential, or logarithmic model best fit the data in Table 2? Find the model.arrow_forward
- What is the y -intercept on the graph of the logistic model given in the previous exercise?arrow_forwardSuppose that a particular plot of land can sustain 500 deer and that the population of this particular species of deer can be modeled according to the logistic model as dPdt=0.2(1P500)P. Each year, a proportion of the herd deer is sold to petting zoos. a. Find the function that gives the equilibrium population for various proportions. b. Determine the maximum number of deer that should be sold to petting zoos each year. Hint: Find the maximum sustainable harvestarrow_forwardSales of a video game released in the year 2000 took off at first, but then steadily slowed as time moved on. Table 4 shows the number of games sold, in thousands, from the years 20002010. a. Let x represent time in years starting with x=1 for the year 2000. Let y represent the number of games sold in thousands. Use logarithmic regression to fit a model to these data. b. If games continue to sell at this rate, how many games will sell in 2015? Round to the nearest thousand.arrow_forward
