The system of differential equations

dx/dy = 0.4x − 0.004x2 − 0.001xy

dy/dt = 0.6y − 0.001y2 − 0.008xy

is a model for the populations of two species.

(a) Does the model describe cooperation, or competition, or a predator-prey relationship?

predator-prey relationship

competition   

cooperation


(b) Find the equilibrium solutions. (Enter solutions from smallest to largest value of x. If solutions have the same value of x, enter them from smallest to largest y.)

(x, y) = (___)

(x, y) = (___)

(x, y) = (___)

(x, y) =(___)

Please show all work neatly, line by line, and please justify steps so that I can learn.

Thank you!

consider the following systems of rate of change equations system A : dx/dt=3x(1-x/10)-1/20xy , dy/dt=-5y+xy/20, system B: dx/dt=3x-xy/100, dy/dt=15y(1-y/17)+25xy. in both of these systems,x and y refer to the number of two different species at time t.In particular, in one of these systems, the prey is large animals and the predators are small animals, such as piranhas and humans. Thus it takes many predators to eat one prey, but each prey eaten is a tremendous benefit for the predator population....

Write a system to model a predator-prey system in which there are three species. Species A is prey for both species B and C, species B is also prey for species C, and species C is not preyed upon. For example, species A would have a growing population if there were no members of species B or C, species B or C would die off without prey, and the predator-prey interactions follow the same model.) b) What are the conditions...
