  1. Use your knowledge of equilibria of systems to answer the following questions. (a) (2 points) Consider the system
x = ( 1 2 5 0 ) x
Classify the equilibrium point x = ( 0 , 0 ) as a node/spiral, sink/source, saddle point or center. (b) (2 points) Consider the system
z = ( 3 1 1 3 ) z
Classify the equilibrium point z = ( 0 , 0 ) as a node/spiral, sink/source, saddle point or center.
