The document discusses two types of equilibrium solutions - unstable and asymptotically stable. An unstable equilibrium point is where solutions starting near it move away from the point over time, so P=0 is unstable for the logistics equation. An asymptotically stable equilibrium point is where nearby solutions move toward it over time, so P=10 is asymptotically stable for the logistics equation.

Equilibrium solutions in which solutions that start near them move away
from the equilibrium solution are called unstable equilibrium
points orunstable equilibrium solutions. So, for our logistics equation, P = 0 is an unstable equilibrium solution. Next, solutions that start near P = 10 all move in toward P = 10 as t increases. Equilibrium solutions in which solutions that start near them move toward the equilibrium solution are called asymptotically stable equilibrium points or asymptotically stable equilibrium solutions. So, P = 10 is an asymptotically stable equilibrium solution.
