Question 1.
What is the formula used in Euler's Method to estimate the next y-value?
Show hintHide hint
Remember, we start with the current y-value and add the slope multiplied by step size.
Question 2.
If the step size is 0.2, what is the slope at point (0, 1) if the function is defined as $f(x,y) = x + y$ ?
Show hintHide hint
Evaluate the function at the initial condition.
3Question 3.
What is the basic formula of Euler's Method?
Show hintHide hint
Remember the structure of the equation as it incorporates previous values.
4Question 4.
True or False: Euler's Method is only applicable for first-order ODEs.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about the nature of the differential equations it addresses.
Question 5.
Using Euler’s Method, estimate the value of $y(2)$ for the equation $\frac{dy}{dx} = y^2 - x$ given $y(0) = 1$ and using a step size of 0.5. Assess three iterations.
Show hintHide hint
Break down the calculations step-by-step, evaluating the function at each point.
Question 6.
Using a differential equation $\frac{dy}{dx} = -2y + x$ and $y(0)=1$ , apply Euler's Method to find $y(0.5)$ with step size 0.1. After applying, discuss the implication of your results.
