Formula used:
Calculation:
Using (1), the magnitude of a vector function
The divergence of a vector field
We start by making a table showing the vector field at several points. The table shown is a
small sample. The vector field lines at many other points should be calculated to get a
representative vector field, which can be obtained by using a computer algebra system.
x | -2 | -1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 |
y | 1 | -1 | -1 | 1 | -1 | -1 |
z | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Next, we draw line segments at the points to represent the vector field
The sketch of the representative vectors, is shown below
Interpretation: The vector field is irrotational in nature and has a positive divergence

- 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.arrow_forwardFind the indefinite integral.
