    Find Critical Points of x' and y': ax - bxy & bxy - cy

    x'= rx- sxy/(1+ tx)= 0 x(r-sy/(1 + tx)) = 0 x= 0 and (r-sy/(1 + tx)) = 0 since x = 0 r-sy = 0 therefore, y = r/s similarly we do that for y'= sxy/(1+ tx)- wy= 0 and we get y = 0 and x = w/(s-w) when I substitute y= (r/w)x into x'= rx- sxy/(1+ tx), x' is NOT zero. So how...

    First integral of the motion

    So the discussion in this thread is really advanced and here I come with a simple question: say we have the system x' = x y' = y How do we find a first integral for this? I know that f(x) = e^x and f(y) = e^y are solutions for this system... But I have no idea where to start with...

    Find Critical Points of x' and y': ax - bxy & bxy - cy

    I have been working with the equations: x' = rx - sxy/(1+tx) y' = sxy/(1+tx) - wy I find that the only singular point is (0,0) is this correct? I got another point, ( w/(s-w) , r/s ), however, that cannot be a critical point because when substituting, x' and y' fail to be 0.

    Find Critical Points of x' and y': ax - bxy & bxy - cy

    Oh I see my mistake. I thought that they were dependent.

    Find Critical Points of x' and y': ax - bxy & bxy - cy

    Homework Statement Find the singular points for: x' = ax - bxy y' = bxy - cy Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution ax - bxy = 0 bxy - cy = 0 implies x = 0 or y = a/b y = 0 or x = c/b the the critical points are (o,o) or (c/b, a/b) why is (0, a/b) and...

    Generator (number theory)

    Homework Statement Let a be a generator of F_q Prove that a^i is a generator if & only if i and q-1 are relatively prime. Homework Equations a is a generator of F_q means that a^(q-1) = 1 and a^i cannot be 1 for all i not q-1. relatively prime means that gcd(i,q-1)=1 fermats...

    Schools Graduate School (Masters in Math) Question

    by the way, i never like linear algebra...i allways hated it..its awefull. I only took it because it was an Applied Mathematics Specialization requirement.

    Schools Graduate School (Masters in Math) Question

    Here is my situation; I am currently in my 3rd year. My first term, I had an A+ A A- and B+ in all my math courses (real analysis, advanced diff, stocastic, and modelling) Those are okay grades, not bad. This term, I have all math courses again (4th year real analysis, complex...

    Geometry (an interesting question with a hard proof)

    Your explanation was very very clear. When I see "If ..then" problems, I allways try to write it out as "suppose so and so..." and see where I can get...and if i get lost, i go for the contrapositive. I guess my method fails here. Thank you for your explanation.
