Question
Suppose that the population \( x_t \) of bacteria satisfies the discrete time dynamical system:

\[
x_{t+1} = \frac{x_t}{r + (x_t)^2}
\]

where \( r \) is a parameter, and \( 0 < r < 1 \).

1. If \( x_t = 0 \), what is \( x_{t+1} \)?
   - [Fill in the blank]

2. Is \( x^* = 0 \) an equilibrium?
   - [Fill in the blank]

3. If \( x_t = \sqrt{1-r} \), what is \( x_{t+1} \)?
   - [Fill in the blank]

4. Is \( x^* = \sqrt{1-r} \) an equilibrium?
   - [Fill in the blank]

5. Write the updating function rule as \( f(x) = \frac{x}{r + x^2} \).
   
6. Compute the derivative: \( f'(x) = \)
   - [Fill in the blank]

7. What condition on \( r \) guarantees that the equilibrium \( x^* = \sqrt{1-r} \) is stable?
   - [Fill in the blank]

\[ < r < \]

This exercise involves analyzing the stability of equilibria in a discrete-time dynamical system that models a population of bacteria. The model examines how the population changes over time based on the parameter \( r \). You are asked to find conditions for equilibrium and its stability by evaluating specific population values and deriving functions.
