Consider the initial value problem dy 7x- +y=0, y(-l) = 1 . dx (a) Solve this problem for the exact solution 1 y(x) = - X I / 7 ' which has an infinite discontinuity at x = O. (b) Apply Euler's method with step size h = 0. 15 to approximate this solution on the interval -1 x 0.5. Note that, from these data alone, you might not suspect any difficulty near x = O. The reason is that the numerical approximation "jumps across the discontinuity" to another solution of 7xy' + y = 0 for x > O. (c) Finally, apply Euler's method with step sizes h = 0.03 and h = 0.006, but still printing results only at the original points x = -1.00, -0.85, -0.70, ... , 1.20, 1.35. and 1.50.

Consider the crossbow bolt of Example 2 in Section 1.8, shot straight upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 49 m/s. Because of linear air resistance, its velocity function v(t) satisfies the initial value problem dv dt = -(0.04)v -9.8, v(O) = 49 with exact solution v(t) = 294e-t/25 - 245. Use a calculator or computer implementation of the improved Euler method to approximate v(t) for 0 ;' t ;' 10 using both n = 50 and n = 100 subintervals. Display the results at intervals of 1 second.

If the exact solution were unavailable, explain how you could use the improved Euler method to approximate closely (a) the bolt's time of ascent to its apex (given in Section 1.8 as 4.56 s) and (b) its impact velocity after 9.41 s in the air.

Consider now the crossbow bolt of Example 3 in Section 1.8. It still is shot straight upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 49 mis, but because of air resistance proportional to the square of its velocity, its velocity function v(t) satisfies the initial value problem dv - = -(0.001 1)vlvl -9.8, v(O) = 49. dt The symbolic solution discussed in Section 1.8 required separate investigations of the bolt's ascent and its descent, with v(t) given by a tangent function during ascent and by a hyperbolic tangent function during descent. But the improved Euler method requires no such distinction. Use a calculator or computer implementation of the improved Euler method to approximate v(t) for 0 ;' t ;' 10 using both n = 100 and n = 200 subintervals. Display the results at intervals of 1 second. Do the two approximations---each rounded to two decimal placesagree with each other?

Chapter 6: Problem 6 Elementary Differential Equations 6
In Problems 29 and 30, the linear acceleration a = dv/dt of a moving particle is given by a formula dv/dt = f(t, v), where the velocity v = dy/dt is the derivative of the function y = y(t) giving the position of the particle at time t. Suppose that the velocity v(t) is approximated using the Runge-Kutta method to solve numerically the initial value problem dv dt = f(t, v), v(O) = Vo (19) That is, starting with to = 0 and vo, the formulas in Eqs. (5) and (6) are applied-with t and v in place of x and y-to calculate the successive approximate velocity values VI> Vz, V 3 , ... , Vm at the successive times t" t 2 , t3 , ... ,tm (with tn+' = tn + h). Now suppose that we also want to approximate the distance y(t) traveled by the particle. We can do this by beginning with the initial position y(O) = Yo and calculating (20) (n = 1, 2, 3, ... ), where an = f(tn, vn) v'(tn) is the particle's approximate acceleration at time tn. Theformula in (20) would give the correct increment (from Yn to Yn+') if the acceleration an remained constant during the time interval [tn, tn+,]. Thus, once a table of approximate velocities has been calculated, Eq. (20) provides a simple way to calculate a table of corresponding successive positions. This process is illustrated in the project for this section, by beginning with the velocity data in Fig. 6.3.8 (Example 3) and proceeding tofollow the skydiver's position during her descent to the ground. Consider again the crossbow bolt of Example 2 in Section 1.8, shot straight upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 49 m/s. Because of linear air resistance, its velocity function v = dy/dt satisfies the initial value problem dv dt = -(0.04)v -9.8, v(O) = 49 with exact solution v(t) = 294e-t/25 -245. (a) Use a calculator or computer implementation of the Runge-Kutta method to approximate v(t) for 0 t 10 using both n = 100 and n = 200 subintervals. Display the results at intervals of I second. Do the two approximations--each rounded to four decimal places-agree both with each other and with the exact solution? (b) Now use the velocity data from part (a) to approximate y(t) for 0 :;::; t :;::; 10 using n = 200 subintervals. Display the results at intervals of 1 second. Do these approximate position valueseach rounded to two decimal places-agree with the exact solution y(t) = 7350 (1 - e-t/25) - 245t? (c) If the exact solution were unavailable, explain how you could use the Runge-Kutta method to approximate closely the bolt's times of ascent and descent and the maximum height it attains.
