Concept explainers
Interpretation:
To show there is always unstable fixed point at
Concept Introduction:
To check the stability at any point, differentiate the equation and put the value in it.
For small value of x predation is very weak, thus the budworm population increases exponentially, when
Answer to Problem 1E
Solution:
Instability at
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given expression is dimensionless for budworm population growth
Where
To check the stability of the equation at
By substituting
Given condition is
This result is also verified by plotting graph for equation
From the above graphs, it is clear that for

- If a coffee filter is dropped, its velocity after t seconds is given by v(t)=4(10.0003t) feet per second. What is the terminal velocity, and how long does it take the filter to reach 99 of terminal velocity? Use a table increment of 0.1 and given your answer to the nearest tenth of a second.arrow_forwardTable 6 shows the population, in thousands, of harbor seals in the Wadden Sea over the years 1997 to 2012. a. Let x represent time in years starting with x=0 for the year 1997. Let y represent the number of seals in thousands. Use logistic regression to fit a model to these data. b. Use the model to predict the seal population for the year 2020. c. To the nearest whole number, what is the limiting value of this model?arrow_forwardQuestion 4 What is the second derivative of y = csc² (2x) ?
