Differential equations can be used to model disease epidemics. In the next set of problems, we examine the change of size of two subpopulations of people living in a city: individuals who are infected and individuals who are susceptible to infection. S represents the size of the susceptible population, and I represents the size of the infected population. We assume that if a susceptible person interacts with an infected person, there is a probability c that the susceptible person will become infected. Each infected person recovers from the infection at a rate r and becomes susceptible again. We consider the case of influenza, where we assume that no one dies from the disease, so we assume that the total population size of the two sub-populations is a constant number, N. The differential equations that model these population sizes are

$$\begin{array}{l}{S^{\prime}=r I-c S I \quad \text { and }} \\ {I^{\prime}=c S I-r I}\end{array}$$

Here c represents the contact rate and r is the recovery rate. Assuming the parameters are c = 0.5, N = 5, and r = 0.5, draw the resulting directional field.
