The following model represents the competition of two species with populations measured by x and y: x˙ = x(3 − 2x − 2y)  y˙ = y(2 − x − y). Analyze these equations: find fixed points and their stability, sketch nullclines, sketch a rough phase portrait, and indicate the basins of attraction for any stable fixed points.

The following model represents the competition of two species with populations measured by x
and y:
x˙ = x(3 − 2x − 2y)  y˙ = y(2 − x − y).
Analyze these equations: find fixed points and their stability, sketch nullclines, sketch a rough
phase portrait, and indicate the basins of attraction for any stable fixed points.
