Please take into consideration the autonomous first order differential equation provided.
y=y2(4y2)
The autonomous first order differential equation offered has the following form:
 dy  dx =f(y)=y2(4y2)
We can get the critical points by solving f(y) = 0
y2(4y2)=0
y=0 or y=±2
Therefore, the critical points are y = -2, 0 and 2.
Now, as shown below, determine the asymptotically stable, unstable, or semi-stable state
y2(4y2)>0  when  4y2>0
Therefore,
y2<4
2<y<2
Thus, the f(y) is increasing in (-2,2)
Now,
y2(4y2)<0  when  4y2<0
Therefore,
y2>4
y<2  or  y>2
(,2)(2,) the f(y) is decreasing
Now classify them as shown below:
at y=0, semi-stable {above increasingbelow increasing 
at y=2, asymptoti stable {above increasingbelow increasing 
at y=2, ustable {above increasingbelow increasing
