Sketch the phase plane of the system

x˙=yy˙=x+x2ky\begin{aligned} &\dot{x}=y \\ &\dot{y}=-x+x^{2}-k y \end{aligned}

(i) for k=0k=0 and (ii) for k=1/10k=1 / 10. Include in your sketches any trajectories that are the separatrices of a saddle point. In case (ii) shade the domain of stability of the origin.
