A Predator-Prey System Is Modeled by the System of Differential dxdt=axbxy\frac { d x } { d t } = a x - b x y

Question 11

Essay

A predator-prey system is modeled by the system of differential equations dxdt=axbxy\frac { d x } { d t } = a x - b x y , dydt=cy+dxy\frac { d y } { d t } = - c y + d x y , where a, b, c, and d are positive constants.(a) Which variable, x or y, represents the predator? Defend your choice.(b) Show that the given system of differential equations has the two equilibrium solutions {x+0,y=0}\{ x + 0 , y = 0 \} and {x=cd,y=ab}\left\{ x = \frac { c } { d } , y = \frac { a } { b } \right\} .(c) Explain the significance of each of the equilibrium solutions.
