x? = 0.8x ? 0.4xy , y? = ?0.6y + 0.2xy

Let x and y represent the populations (in thousands) of two species that share a
habitat. For each system of equations, find and assess the stability of the equilibrium points. Remember that, for real populations, both x0 and y0 must be nonnegative for ( x0, y0) to be an equilibrium point.
