1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Find the linearization of the equation y' = y(-1+4y-3y^2) about each of the fixed points
3. The attempt at a solution
I think this is correct for finding fixed points:
Set y' = 0 = y(-1+4y+3y^2), so the fixed points are y = 0, 1/3, 1
What exactly does it mean by linearization of the equation around each of the fixed points?
