Find all critical points of the given plane autonomous syste
Find all critical points of the given plane autonomous system. (Enter answers as a comma-separated list.)
Solution
Critical points are given by setting:x\'=y\'=0
x\'=0 gives
x=0,1=x^2+9y^2
y\'=0 gives
y=0,9=x^2+9y^2
9=x^2+9y^2 and 1=x^2+9y^2
are not both simultaneously possible
So critical points are
(0,0)
x=0 and 9=x^2-9y^2=0 ie x=0 and y^2=1
So, (0,1),(0,-1)
And , y=0 and 1=x^2+9y^2 ie x=1, -1
So,(1,0),(-1,0)
So 5 critical points
