Arms Race: A simplified mathematical model for an arms race between two countries whose expenditures for defense are expressed by the variables x (t) and y(t) is given by the linear system dx = 2y = x + a dy = 4x - 3y + b where x (0) = 1 and y (0) = 4 and a and b are constants that measure the trust (or distrust) each country has for the other. Determine whether there is going to be disarmament (x and y approach 0 as t increases), a stabilized arms race (x and y approach a constant as → ∞o), or a runaway arms race (x and y approach +∞oast → ∞o). Justify your reasoning.
