Chapter 3.7, Problem 2E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To sketch the curve $\text{r (x)}$ vs x and $\text{k (x)}$ vs x and determine limiting behavior of $\text{r (x)}$ and $\text{k (x)}$ as $\text{x}\to \text{1 and x}\to \infty$. Find the exact values of $\text{r , k and x}$ at the cusp point.

Concept Introduction:

When the two bifurcation curves touch each other tangentially at (r, h), this point is called as cusp point.
