Question

Consider the system

          x'= y - 4x + x2 ; y' = 4y - 2xy :
(a)  Find a nonconstant function H(x , y) such that every orbit of the system
satis es H(x , y) = c for some constant c.

(b)  The stationary points are (0; 0), (4; 0), and (2; 4). In the phase-plane sketch
these stationary points plus the level set H(x; y) = c for each value of c that
corresponds to a stationary point that is a saddle. (No arrows are required!)
