- For the following two-population system, first describe the type of x- and y-populations involved (exponential or logistic) and the nature of their interaction-competition, cooperation, or predation. 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_forwardWest Gorham High School is to be located at the population center of gravity of three communities: Westbrook, population 17,500, Scarborough, population 23,000, and Gorham, population 33,500. Westbrook is located at 43.6769°N, 70.3717°W, Scarborough is located at 43.5781°N, 70.3222°W, and Gorham is located at 43.6795°N, 70.4447°W. a. Where should West Gorham High School be located? West Gorham High School be located at °N, W. (Enter your responses rounded to four decimal places.)arrow_forwardThe survival of two species depends on their mutual cooperation. For instance, a species of bee that feeds primarily on the nectar of one plant species and simultaneously pollinates the plant. One simple model of mutualism is given by dx/xt = −ax + bxydy/dt = −my + nxy where a, b, m, and n are all positive constants. Perform a graphical analysis and indicate the trajectory directions in the phase plane.arrow_forward
- The Lotka-Volterra model is often used to characterize predator-prey interactions. 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_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. 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 portraits of the following linear systems and justify the choice of the direction of trajectories. (4.1) * = ( 13 1³ ) *. X, -3 (4.2) = *-(34)x X.arrow_forward

Where on the seesaw should a 10-kilogram child sit in order to achieve equilibrium?The 10-kilogram child should sit on the same side as the ? kilogram child, ? meter(s) from the axis of rotation.arrow_forwardA jet flies in a parabolic arc to simulate partial weightlessness. The curve shown in the figure represents the plane's height y (in 1000 ft) versus the time t (in sec). a. 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. Together, these form a system of three linear equations with three unknowns. b. Use a graphing utility to solve for a, b, and c. c. Substitute the known values of a, b, and c into the model y = at2 + bt + c. d. Determine the vertex of the parabola. e. Determine the focal length of the parabola.
