x(t) = f(x,y) dt y(t) = f(x,y), that has precisely two equilibrium points, both of which are saddle points, denote by (x,y) and (x,y). Sketch the phase portrait where there is a trajectory th connects (x,y) with (x,y). How does this trajectory relate to the eigenvalues ar eigenvectors of the Jacobian matrix evaluated at each of the equilibrium points?

H5. Consider an ODE
x(t) = f(x,y)
dt
d
y(t) = f(x,y),
that has precisely two equilibrium points, both of which are saddle points, denoted
by (x,y) and (x,y). Sketch the phase portrait where there is a trajectory that
connects (x,y) with (x2,y2). How does this trajectory relate to the eigenvalues and
eigenvectors of the Jacobian matrix evaluated at each of the equilibrium points?
