Example 2.  Find the roots of  [Graphics:Images/HarvestingModelMod_gr_70.gif],  and equilibrium solutions of the D. E.  [Graphics:Images/HarvestingModelMod_gr_71.gif].

Solution 2.

[Graphics:../Images/HarvestingModelMod_gr_73.gif]

Use the Mathematica's procedure  Solve.

There are two "constant" or stationary solutions to the D. E.

Caveat.  The stationary solutions found are for case (ii).  Substituting  [Graphics:../Images/HarvestingModelMod_gr_80.gif] must be done prior to solving if the solution for case (i) is to be obtained.
