For the differential equation x′′ + (o.1)(1 − x2)x′ + x = 0; x(0) = 1, x′(0) = 0. (a) Rewrite it as a system of first order differential equations in preparation to solve with the vectorized version of a numerical approximation technique. (b) Use the vectorized Euler method with h = 0.2 to plot out an approximate solution for t = 0 to t = 10. (c) Plot the points to the approximated solution (make a scatter plot), make a prediction of what type of function the solution might be.
