(a) Identify the equilibrium points.

(b) For each equilibrium point, give the change of variables that moves the equilibrium point to the origin and give the linear approximation of the new system near the origin. Identify the equilibrium point as a source, a sink, or a node.

(c) For each equilibrium point, describe quantitatively the behavior of solutions with initial values that are very close to the equilibrium point. (For example, how quickly does a solution that starts close to the equilibrium point approach or recede from the equilibrium point as t increases?) In particular, approximate the amount of time it takes a point to halve or double its distance from the equilibrium point as t increases.
