3. The survival of two species depends on their mutual cooperation. For instance, a species of bee that feeds primarily on the nectar of one plant species and simultaneously pollinates the plant. One simple model of mutualism is given by dr = -ax + bxy xt dy = -my + nxy dt where a, b, m, and n are all positive constants. (a) What assumptions are implicitly being made about the growth of each species in the absence of cooperation?
