Example: Predator-Prey Model
Use the predator-prey model to determine the regional populations of a
predator and its prey that would maintain population equilibrium for the
two species.
This example uses the model to determine the equilibrium populations of
foxes and rabbits, with initial populations of 200 rabbits (

) and 50
foxes (
