The recursive relationNt+1=cNteNt, where c a positive constant, is a population model known as the Ricker Model. Its behavior is similar to the logistic model discussed in class

.a)Find the fixed points of this relation and give a biological interpretation of each.

b)Classify each fixed point as stable or unstable.

c)Notice that ifNt>0, the right-hand side of this relation is always positive, which is not the case for the logistic model. How does this make the behavior of the two models different? Withthis in mind, what sort of species might be best fit by each model, and why? (there are lots ofreasonable answers to this)
