" + Consider the Duffing's equation that describes the oscillations of certain nonlinear mechanical systems: - U = 0 (a) Use the change of variables 2 = u and y = u' to rewrite the Duffing's equation as a system in the form: fx' = F(x,y) lv = G(x,y) (b) Find the fixed points of the above system and determine their linear stability. (c) Starting from the initial condition ((O),y(0)) = (1,0), use a calculator to perform two iterations of Euler's method with step size h = 0.1.
