Then find and characterize the system's critical points (as to type and stability). Determine what nonzero x- and y-populations can coexist. Finally, construct a phase plane portrait that enables you to describe the long-term behavior of the two populations in terms of their initial populations x(0) and y(0). dx dt dy dt=xy-4y = 5xy-10x CICCES Describe the type of x- and y-populations involved. Select the correct choice below. OA. The populations involved are naturally declining populations in competition. OB. The populations involved are naturally growing populations in cooperation. OC. The populations involved are naturally declining populations in cooperation. OD. The populations involved are naturally growing populations in competition.arrow_forward(b) A dynamical system is governed by two equations: (a) Find critical points of this system. |x=y, [y=In(x² + y)-3y. Here a dot on the top of a symbol stands for the derivative with respect to t. (c) Using linearisation of the system in the neighbourhood of each critical point, determine the nature of the critical points. Draw qualitatively but neatly these critical points and corresponding trajectory diagrams.arrow_forward
- Draw the phase diagram of the system; list all the equilibrium points; determine the stability of the equilibrium points; and describe the outcome of the system from various initial points. You should consider all four quadrants of the xy-plane. All the following must be included, correct and clearly annotated in your phase diagram: The coordinate axes; all the isoclines; all the equilibrium points; the allowed directions of motion (both vertical and horizontal) in all the regions into which the isoclines divide the xy plane; direction of motion along isoclines, where applicable; examples of allowed trajectories in all regions and examples of trajectories crossing from a region to another, whenever such a crossing is possible.arrow_forwardDraw the phase diagram of the system; list all the equilibrium points; determine the stability of the equilibrium points; and describe the outcome of the system from various initial points.

For example, if R is the population of rabbits (which reproduce autocatlytically), G is the amount of grass available for rabbit food (assumed to be constant), L is the population of Lynxes that feeds on the rabbits, and D represents dead lynxes, the following equations represent the dynamic behavior of the populations of rabbits and lynxes: R+G→ 2R (1) L+R→ 2L (2) (3) Each step is irreversible since, for example, rabbits cannot turn back into grass. a) Write down the differential equations that describe how the populations of rabbits (R) and lynxes (L) change with time. b) Assuming G and all of the rate constants are unity, solve the equations for the evolution of the animal populations with time. Let the initial values of R and L be 20 and 1, respectively. Plot your results and discuss how the two populations are related.arrow_forward

For each ordered pair, substitute the t and y values into the model y = at2 + bt + c to form a linear equation with three unknowns a, b, and c.
