ANSWER:Step 1 of 7
a) To solve part a of this question, we use the jacobian to study the behavior of the system around
=
=
=
By calculating the Trace and Determinant of this matrix and comparing it to the Trace-Determinant Plane, we can make a conclusion about the behavior of the system near .
Since the trace is negative and the determinant is positive and the determinant is less than , we can conclude that the system is global sink near
