Interpretation:
To show that each of the following fixed points has an index equal to +1.
a) stable spiral b) unstable spiral c) center d) star e) degenerate node
Concept Introduction:
Index theory provides the global information about the phase portrait.
The index of the closed curve can be defined as the net number of counter-clockwise revolutions made by
Ic=12π[ϕ]c.
Where, Ic is the index of the closed curve and [ϕ]c is the net change in ϕ around C.

Answer to Problem 1E
Solution:
For each of the fixed points, the index is equal to +1 is proved.
Explanation of Solution
Following fixed points have an index equal to +1.
Sketch for the stable spiral,
The above sketch shows that every vector is always pointing inwards. It is seen from the direction of arrow that the vector field is rotating in counter-clockwise direction. Hence, the index for the stable spiral is +1.
Sketch for an unstable spiral
The above sketch shows that every vector is always pointing outwards. It is seen from the direction of arrow that the vector field is rotating in counter-clockwise direction. Hence, the index for the unstable spiral is +1.
Sketch for a Centre
The above sketch shows that every vector is making tangent to the closed orbit. It is seen from the direction of arrow that the vector field is rotating in counter-clockwise direction by 2π. Hence, the index for the centre is +1.
Sketch for a star
The above sketch shows that every vector is always pointing outwards. It is seen from the direction of arrow that the vector field is rotating in counter-clockwise direction by 2π. Hence, the index for the stable star is +1.
Sketch for a degenerate node:
The vector field at the point is pretty fastidious where the trajectory turns around and starts moving in opposite direction. Due to this, the graph of the only vector head is plotted instead of the individual vectors. These vectors bunch around the angle π and the side directly opposite to it. It can be seen that the vector field is rotating in counterclockwise direction. Thus, the index for the degenerate node is +1.
Above sketches showthat each of the fixed point have an index equal to +1.

- 2. Sam and Deb have a weekly net income of $1500. They have a pet dog. Their monthly expenses, not related to housing, are $2875. They have savings of $32 000. They are considering two housing options: Option 1: Renting a 2-bedroom condo for $1650 a month, plus utilities averaging $210 a month Option 2: Buying a 2-bedroom condo for a down payment of $24 500, bi-weekly mortgage payments of $1100, and a monthly condo fee of $475 a) Determine the monthly cost of each housing option. Factoring in other expenses not related to housing, which one can Sam and Deb afford? b) Suppose their dog falls ill and they have to pay $85 every week to cover veterinarian and medical expenses.
