Using the predator-prey model in biology, determine the numbers of rabbits and foxes
that maintain population equilibrium in a certain region.
1. On the Y= Editor (
8 #
), define the sequences and initial values for
R
n
and
W
n
.
u1(n) = u1(n

ui2 = 50
Note:
Assume there are initially 200 rabbits and 50 foxes.
2. Set
Axes = TIME
.
R
=
Number of rabbits
M
=
Growth rate of rabbits if there are no foxes (use .05)
K
=
Rate at which foxes can kill rabbits (use .001)
W
=
Number of foxes
G
=
Growth rate of foxes if there are rabbits (use .0002)
D
=
Death rate of foxes if there are no rabbits (use .03)
