As with discrete-time dynamical systems, equilibria can act strange when the slope of the rate-of-change function is exactly equal to the critical value of zero. Graph a rate-of-change function that has a slope of 0 at the equilibrium but the equilibrium is stable. What is the sign of the second derivative at the equilibrium? What is the sign of the third derivative at the equilibrium?
