Each system of DE is a model for 2 species that either compete for the same resources or cooperate for mutual benefit. \[\frac{dx}{dt}=0.12x-0.0006x^2+0.00001xy\] \[\frac{dy}{dt}=0.08x+0.00004xy\] some info: \[\frac{dR}{dt}=kR\] k is a positive constant \[\frac{dW}{dt}=-rW\] r is a positive constant Predator-prey equations: \[\frac{dR}{dt}=kR-aRW\] \[\frac{dW}{dt}=-rW=bRW\]

not sure what the R and W refer to. are you trying to determine x(t) and y(t) ?
I'm soo sorry R is for rabbits (pray) R(t) at time t and W is for wolves(predators) W(t) at time t
"a" is another positive constant
I have to decide whether the system describes competition or cooperation
I'll see if I can find the solution manual online
Oh interesting. Well, I guess I have the answer...
seems very simple now that I understand what they are asking lol
I don't understand this book I'm using "Stewart's Calculus"
I haven't read it I was doing Leibniz in Spanish and I think someone stole it :/ I gotta go eat, see ya.
sorry I meant "Leithold"
see ya. What? First your wallet...and now your books. Sheesh!
eh, Mexico...
It's ok. happens here too :P
