Explanation Given information: Let A be a set with a partial order relation R and let S be a set of strings over A . Concept used: A relation ≺ _ on S is defined as follows: For any two strings in S , a 1 a 2 a 3 ... a m and b 1 b 2 b 3 .... b n where m and n are positive integers. If m ≤ n and a i = b i for all i = 1 , 2 , 3 , ..... , m then a 1 a 2 a 3 , .... a m ≺ _ b 1 b 2 .... b n . If for some integer k with k ≤ m , k ≤ n and k ≥ 1 , a i = b i for all i = 1 , 2 , 3 , .... , k − 1 and a k ≠ b k but a k R b k then a 1 a 2 , ...... , a m ≺ _ b 1 b 2 , .... , b n If ε is the null string and s is any string in S , then ε ≺ _ s . Proof: To prove ≺ _ is reflexive: Let s be any string in S . If s = ε , then s ≺ _ s by ( 3 ) . Suppose s ≠ ε . Let s = a 1 a 2 a 3 , ...... , a m . Then m ≤ m and a i = a i for all i = 1 , 2 , 3 , .... , m . Therefore, by ( 1 ) s = a 1 a 2 a 3 .... a m ≺ _ a 1 a 2 a 3 ......... a m = s s ≺ _ s Hence, ≺ _ is reflexive. To prove ≺ _ is antisymmetric: Let s = a 1 a 2 a 3 ...... a m ∈ S and t = b 1 b 2 b 3 ...... b m ∈ S such that s ≺ _ t and t ≺ _ s . Suppose i be the least positive integer such that a i ≠ b i . Since s ≺ _ t and t ≺ _ s therefore, a i R b i & b i R a i Since R is partial order relation on A , therefore a i R b i & b i R a i implies that a i = b i

Question 1. (10 points) A researcher is studying tumours in mice. The growth rate for the volume of the tumour V(t) in cm³ is given by dV = 1.45V(2 In(V+1)). dt (a) (4 pts) Find all the equilibria and determine their stability using the stability condition. (b) (2 pts) Draw the phase plot f(V) versus V where f(V) = V'. You may find it helpful to use Desmos or Wolfram Alpha to plot the graph of f(V) versus V (both are free to use online), or you can plot it by hand if you like. On the plot identify each equilibrium as stable or unstable. (c) (4 pts) Draw direction arrows for the case where the tumour starts at size 3cm³ and for the case where the tumour starts at size 9cm³. Explain in biological terms what happens to the size of each of these tumours at time progresses.
