i was doing some practise problems to see how much of the material i understand
well I'm having a lot of trouble with this differential equations chapter in my textbook , especially the predator and prey questions
so you have rabbits and wolves
Rabbits: dR/dt= 0.08R(1-0.0002)-0.001RW
Wolves: dW/dt= -0.02W+ 0.00002RW
The question is asking what happens to the rabbit population in the absence of wolves?
well first i just let w=0 in the rabbits equation
but then after that i had no luck, i tried the concepts i learned about separable equations however there is no t term in the equation
am i missing something? how do i go about doing this?
