  1. Let x 0 , y 0 , r > 1 and consider the non-linear system
x = x + x x y x 2 y = y ( 1 + y )
(a) (2 points) Compute the Jacobian of this system. b) (4 points) The point ( r 1 , 1 ) is an equilibrium point of this system. Use supportive work to identify ( r 1 , 1 ) as sink/source, nodal/spiral, saddle point or center.
