For the differential equation dydt=y(2−y)\dfrac{dy}{dt}=y(2-y), which statement correctly classifies the stability of each equilibrium solution? (a) The equilibria y=0y=0 and y=2y=2 are both stable. (b) The equilibrium y=0y=0 is stable, and y=2y=2 is unstable. (c) The equilibrium y=0y=0 is unstable, and y=2y=2 is stable. (d) The equilibrium y=0y=0 is semistable, and y=2y=2 is unstable.
