Critical points problem: Differential equations
Hey. I can find nothing on this material in my textbook and nothing online that's quite like it, so i'm hoping someone here can show me how to do this.
Consider the system
dx/dt = 4x + 5y + xy
du/dt = x + x^2 - y^2
Discuss the type and stability of the critical point at (0,0)

Re: Critical points problem: Differential equations
I think you mean dy/dt in the second equation. If you divide the second by the first you should get
[list=*]
[*]
[/list]
eliminating the parameter t.
