Question 5.
Given the ODE dy/dx = 2y with the initial condition y(0) = 1, use a numerical method to find y(0.1) using Euler's method.
Show hintHide hint
Remember to iterate using the formula for Euler's Method.
Question 6.
Explain how changing the initial condition from y(0) = 1 to y(0) = 2 impacts the solution of dy/dx = x + y.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how the initial point affects the overall trajectory of the solution.
