For the predator–prey system x′=x(2−y),  y′=y(x−3)x' = x(2 - y),\; y' = y(x - 3) with x,y>0x, y > 0, there are constants aa and bb for which V(x,y)=x−aln⁡x+y−bln⁡yV(x, y) = x - a\ln x + y - b\ln y is constant along every trajectory. With those constants, find the minimum value of VV over all x,y>0x, y > 0.
