VAXIMA is a computer software which gives us results in terms of parameters. We use VAXIMA to analyze quantitatively a conservative dynamical system with cubic and quintic nonlinear terms. The system is described by a nonlinear second-order autonomous ordinary differential equation. Using the Lindstedt-Poincare method, we obtain period-amplitude characteristics. In order to check the validity of the approximate solution, we integrate numerically the equation of motion.
