Consider the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model defined by
where the populations x(t) (predators) and y(t) (prey) are measured in thousands. Suppose x(0) = 6 and y(0) = 6. Use a numerical solver to graph x(t) and y(t). Use the graphs to approximate the time t > 0 when the two populations are first equal. Use the graphs to approximate the period of each population.
