Chapter 6 Problem 6.2.12

Question

A programmable calculator or a computer will be useful for 11 through 16. In each problem find the exact solution of the given initial value problem. Then apply the improved Euler method twice to approximate (to five decimal places) this solution on the given interval, first with step size h = 0.01, then with step size h = 0.005. Make a table showing the approximate values and the actual value, together with the percentage error in the more accurate approximations, for x an integral multiple of 0.2. Throughout, primes denote derivatives with respect to x. 12. y' = (y - 1)2, y(O) = 2; 0;' x ;' 1

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 6 problem number 12 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A programmable calculator or a computer will be useful for 11 through 16. In each problem find the exact solution of the given initial value problem. Then apply the improved Euler method twice to approximate (to five decimal places) this solution on the given interval, first with step size h = 0.01, then with step size h = 0.005. Make a table showing the approximate values and the actual value, together with the percentage error in the more accurate approximations, for x an integral multiple of 0.2. Throughout, primes denote derivatives with respect to x. 12. y' = (y - 1)2, y(O) = 2; 0;' x ;' 1
From the textbook chapter Numerical Methods you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
