Question

I just need the equation for x'. Thanks!

Consider the spring model where the linear part of the spring is repulsive rather than attractive (for a normal spring it is attractive). Rewrite this as a system of first-order equations in X and y = X'. Write down your system when you have it correct, for use in the next three problems. Then find all critical points and enter them below, in order of increasing x coordinate. (For reference for the next three problems, write down your critical points after you've gotten them all right.

Explanation / Answer

x'=(9/2)x2-(1/4)x4

x=(3/2)x3-(1/20)x5
