Explanation Given information: ∇ f ( 0 , 0 ) = 〈 2 , 4 〉 Concept used: For any vector u = 〈 u 1 , u 2 〉 , the directional derivative of z = f ( x , y ) at ( a , b ) in the direction of u is D u f ( a , b ) = f x ( a , b ) u 1 + f y ( a , b ) u 2 Calculation: Since from the given information the unit vector u making an angle of 45 o with the x − axis forms the hypotenuse of the 30 o − 60 o − 90 o triangle whose base is 1unit and height is 1unit. u = 〈 u 1 , u 2 〉 With u 1 = cos 45 o and u 2 = sin 45 o that is, u = 〈 cos 45 o , sin 45 o 〉 ⇒ u = 〈 1 2 , 1 2 〉 Hence u 1 = 1 2 u 2 = 1 2 … (1) We know that the gradient of a function is the vector of partial derivatives

The spread of an infectious disease is often modeled using the following autonomous differential equation: dI - - BI(N − I) − MI, dt where I is the number of infected people, N is the total size of the population being modeled, ẞ is a constant determining the rate of transmission, and μ is the rate at which people recover from infection. Close a) (5 points) Suppose ẞ = 0.01, N = 1000, and µ = 2. Find all equilibria. b) (5 points) For the equilbria in part a), determine whether each is stable or unstable. c) (3 points) Suppose ƒ(I) = d. Draw a phase plot of f against I. (You can use Wolfram Alpha or Desmos to plot the function, or draw the dt function by hand.) Identify the equilibria as stable or unstable in the graph. d) (2 points) Explain the biological meaning of these equilibria being stable or unstable.
