Expert Solution
Step 1

The equilibrium point of a differential equation is the point where the rate of change is zero. For the differential equation dydx=fx, the equilibrium point is determined by solving the equation fx=0. Let the equilibrium point be x=x'. If f'x'<0, x=x' is stable. The negative sign of f'x' implies instability. When it equals zero, the equilibrium point is neutral. The logistic equation is one of the important differential equations having order 1. The population of a certain area is modeled through this equation.
