Homework due Wednesday, October 20:

On the calendar, it says the homework is to convince me that you understand equilibrium. After reading your work on previous write-ups, I see that most of you already understand this. So, I am changing your homework assignment. Instead, I want you to look at both the Disneyworld Debt and the Managing Medication worksheets and focus on the concept of equilibrium in each of those situations. What does it mean to be at equilibrium in the debt context? In the medication context? In your explanation, be sure to connect the arithmetic to the problem situation.

After you do that, you should consider your different categories of behavior for dynamical systems and choose which one applies to the debt situation and which one applies to the medication situation. Sketch a graph to show the how the sequence proceeds in each situation. Say how you chose your graph.
