Chapter 9: Q45E (page 427)

Two herds of vicious animals are fighting each other to the death. During the fight, the populations and of the two species can be modelled by the following system:

|dxdt=-4ydydt=-x|

  1. What is the significance of the constants -4and -1in these equations? Which species has the more vicious (or more efficient) fighters.
  2. Sketch a phase portrait for this system.
  3. Who wins the fight (in the sense that some individuals of that species are left while the other herd is eradicated)? How does your answer depend on the initial populations?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)They is the more vicious species and the constants determine the rate of decrease of populations.

(b) The graph is obtained and explained.

(c) The species 1 that is xspecies win.

Step by step solution

01

(a) Given in the question.

The given system is written as follows:

dxdtdydt=0-4-10xy

The rate of death of the first species is 4 times that of the second thus the -4 and -1. For every y spices the rate of population decline of x goes down by 4.

Thus,y is the more vicious species.

02

(b) Determine the graph of the given system.

The graph is plotted below:

03

(c) Determine the winner of the fight.

Species 1 that isx species win ify0x0<14, otherwise species 2 that isspecies win.

Hence, species 1 that isxspecies win.

Question:The carbon in living matter contains a minute proportion of the radioactive isotope C-14. This radiocarbon arises from cosmic-ray bombardment in the upper atmosphere and enters living systems by exchange processes. After the death of an organism, exchange stops, and the carbon decays. Therefore, carbon dating enables us to calculate the time at which an organism died. Let x(t) be the proportion of the original C-14 still present t years after death. By definition,x(0)=1=100% . We are told that x(t) satisfies the differential equation

dxdt=-18270x.

(a) Find a formula for x(t). Determine the half-life of(that is, the time it takes for half of the C-14 to decay).

(b)The Iceman. In 1991, the body of a man was found in melting snow in the Alps of Northern Italy. A well-known historian in Innsbruck, Austria, determined that the man had lived in the Bronze Age, which started about 2000 B.C. in that region. Examination of tissue samples performed independently at Zurich and Oxford revealed that 47% of the C-14 present in the body at the time of his death had decayed. When did this man die? Is the result of the carbon dating compatible with the estimate of the Austrian historian?
