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
Where,

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
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
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
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
Above sketches showthat each of the fixed point have an index equal to +1.

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
