In each of Problems 1 through 5, (a) verify that the given functions satisfy the system, (b) write the system in matrix form X= AX for an appropriate A, (c) write n linearly independent n 1 matrix solutions 1, , n , for appropriate n, (d) use the determinant test of Theorem 10.2(2) to verify that these solutions are linearly independent, (e) form a fundamental matrix for the system, and (f) use the fundamental matrix to solve the initial value problemx 1 = 5x1 + 3x2, x 2 = x1 + 3x2, x1(t)= c1e2t + 3c2e6t , x2(t) = c1e2t + c2e6t , x1(0)= 0, x2(0) = 4

Question
Derive a system of differential equations modeling the predator/prey relationship in an environment with indiscriminate harvesting. Do this by assuming that there is some outside agent that removes numbers of both species from the system at a rate proportional to the populations, with the same constant of proportionality for both specie
Solution
The first step in solving 10 problem number 11 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Derive a system of differential equations modeling the predator/prey relationship in an environment with indiscriminate harvesting. Do this by assuming that there is some outside agent that removes numbers of both species from the system at a rate proportional to the populations, with the same constant of proportionality for both specie
From the textbook chapter Systems of Linear Differential Equations you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
