1. Determine the equilibrium solutions for the following competition model. State your answer
as ordered pair.

x0 = 0.1x(4 − 0.4x − 0.3y)

y 0 = 0.6y(5 − 0.5y − 0.2x)

2. Write the given system of DEs in matrix form

x0 = 2x − 3y + 11z − tanh(2t)
y 0 = −x + 5y + 4z + e−6t
z 0 = 9x − 2y − 3z + cos(4t)

3. Write the following second-order DE as a system of first-order DEs.

5y 00 − 2y 0 + 11y = 0

4. Find the general solution for the given system of DEs, then sketch the phase portrait. Classify
what type of equilibrium solution is the origin (0, 0).
 
0 4 −5
X = X
5 −4

5. Solve the following IVP and classify what type of equilibrium solution is the origin (0, 0).
   
0 2 4 −1
X = X, X(0) =
−1 6 6

6. Find the general solution for the given non-homogeneous system of DEs.
   
0 1 −4 4t + 9e6t
X = X+
4 1 −t + e6t

7. Consider the damped harmonic motion described by the 1-parameter DE x00 + bx0 + 6x = 0
for b > 0. Identify any bifurcation values for the parameter b and classify what type of
equilibrium solution is the origin (0, 0) for the appropriate intervals of b.
