Homework Statement


Suppose that we use a Michaelis-Menten growth rate in the chemostat model, and that the parameters are chosen so that a positive steady state exists. Show that
N = f(V,F,C0) = (C0(F - VKm) + FKn)/(a(F - VKm))
and
C = (FKn)/(F - VKm)
at the positive steady state.


The Attempt at a Solution


I don't even know what this question is asking. I copied it word for word; there are no typos on my end. The problem can be seen at this link:
www.math.rutgers.edu/~sontag/336/notes336_06.pdf on page 109. Any help on what this means would be wonderful!
