Answer to Problem 1RE
Solution:
a. The slope of the given function is 2 and is the .
b. 2
c. Increasing.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given equation is
Formula used:
For a linear function of the form , is the slope and is the .
The average rate of change of the linear function is the slope of that function.
The function is said to be increasing in it domain, then its slope is positive.
The function is said to be decreasing in it domain, then its slope is negative.
The function is said to be constant if the slope is 0.
Calculation:
a. From the definition of the linear function, the slope of the given function is 2 and is the .
b. The average rate of change of the given function is 2.
c. Using the given function, we can see that
Thus, the graph of the given function is
(d) Since the slope of the given function is positive, the function is increasing.

- 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.
