Consider the following initial value problem
dy/dt = 3 − 2*t − 0.5*y, y (0) = 1
We would like to find an approximation solution with the step
size h = 0.05.
What is the approximation of y(0.1)?
6. Consider the initial value problem dy/ dt = t ^2 y , y(1) = 1
.
(a) Use Euler’s method (by hand) to approximate the solution
y(t) at t = 2 using ∆t = 1, ∆t = 1/2 and ∆t = 1/4 (use a calculator
to approximate the answer for the smallest ∆t). Report your results
in a table listing ∆t in one column, and the corresponding
approximation of y(2) in the other.

Consider the system modeled by the differential equation
dy/dt - y = t with initial condition y(0) = 1
the exact solution is given by y(t) = 2et − t − 1
Note, the differential equation dy/dt - y =t can be written as
dy/dt = t + y
using Euler’s approximation of dy/dt = (y(t + Dt) – y(t))/ Dt
(y(t + Dt) – y(t))/ Dt = (t + y)
y(t + Dt) =...
3. Consider the IVP:
dy =ty^1/3; y(0)=0,t≥0. dt
Both y(t) = 0, (the equilibrium solution) and y(t) =
?(1/3t^2?)^3/2 are solutions to this IVP.
(a) Show that the trivial solution satisfies the IVP by first
verifying that it satisfies the initial condition and then
verifying that it satisfies the differential equation.
(b) Show that the other solution satisfies the IVP again by
first verifying it satisfies the initial condition and then
verifying that it satisfies the differential equation.
