Question
For each of the systems in 5 through 16: (a) Find all the critical points (equilibrium solutions). (b) Use a computer to draw a direction field and phase portrait for the system. (c) From the plot(s) in part (b), determine whether each critical point is asymptotically stable, stable, or unstable, and classify it as to type. (d) Describe the basin of attraction for each asymptotically stable critical point.dx/dt = 1 + 2y, dy/dt = 1 3x2
Solution
The first step in solving 9.2 problem number 6 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: For each of the systems in 5 through 16: (a) Find all the critical points (equilibrium solutions). (b) Use a computer to draw a direction field and phase portrait for the system. (c) From the plot(s) in part (b), determine whether each critical point is asymptotically stable, stable, or unstable, and classify it as to type. (d) Describe the basin of attraction for each asymptotically stable critical point.dx/dt = 1 + 2y, dy/dt = 1 3x2
From the textbook chapter Autonomous Systems and Stability you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
