Step 1
x = y To show that this system is reversible, we need to find the inverse of the equations. In this case, the inverse is simply switching the variables x and y. So the inverse of the first equation is y = x. Now let's sketch the phase portrait. We can rewrite the Show more…

Consider the system { dot{x} = x, dot{y} = y - y^2. Sketch the phase portrait by completing the following steps. First, find and classify the fixed points. Then sketch the nullclines (that is, a set of points in the phase space where dot{x} = 0 and the set of points where dot{y} = 0). Finally, fill in representative trajectories using the classification of the fixed points.

For each of the following systems, find the fixed points, classify them, sketch the neighboring trajectories, and try to fill in the rest of the phase portrait:
