Interpretation:
To classify the fixed points in the non-linear differential equation of the Gompertz model of cancerous growth.
Concept Introduction:
Fixed points in the non-linear system are the points where system stables down and there will be no more change (growth or decay) unless some external stimuli are applied.
There are two types of fixed points in the system, stable fixed points, and unstable fixed points.
Stable fixed points are those, where the system tends to come back even after the application of perturbation.
While unstable fixed points are those, where, if the perturbation is applied then the system never comes back in that state.
Whether the fixed point is stable or unstable can be found by their slopes in phase space diagram.

At the close ofbusiness on the day before St. Patrick's Day, the manager counted orders for a total of 24 dozen shamrock-shaped cookies, horseshoe-shaped cookies, and mint chocolate chip cupcakes. They sold four times as many cupcakes as shamrock cookies and three times as many horseshoe cookies as shamrock cookies. How many mint chocolate chip cupcakes did they sell?arrow_forward

- Q2*) Consider the extremisation of the integral I[y] = √²² F(x,y,y', y") dx x1 when y and y' are prescribed only at x = x1. Derive the so-called 'natural boundary conditions' that must be satisfied at x = x2. Taking a specific example: The functional I [y] is defined by I[y] = √² ((y″)² + y) dx with y(0) = 0 and y'(0) = 0. Write down the fourth-order Euler-Lagrange equation for this problem, stating the four boundary conditions. Find the general solution of the Euler-Lagrange equation, and then impose the boundary conditions to find the extremal.arrow_forward3 00 By changing to circular coordinates, evaluate foo √²²+v³ dx dy.arrow_forward3.
