Document Summary
Differential equations can be used to represent the prey and predator population rate of change system. Given variables x and y, and the differential equations provided with terms that contribute to the growth and decline in the rate of population growth, the predator and prey system can be analyzed. For the predator-prey system, determine which variables of x and y represents the prey and predator population. Notice that when , meaning it is declining in the absence of variable . The predators feed on predator, therefore represents the predator population. The growth of prey population is restricted by which only involves variable and , thus it is restricted only by the predators and no other external factors.
