Question:
In Problems 9 through 12, find each equilibrium solution x(t) Ξ x0 of the given second-order differential equation x" + f(x , x') = 0. Use a computer system or graphing calculator to construct a phase portrait and direction field for the equivalent first-order system x' = y, y' = -f(x , y). Thereby ascertain whether the critical point (x0, 0) looks like a center, a saddle point, or a spiral point of this system.
x" + (x2 - 1)x' + x = 0
