Q 3.6-15E

Question

The solution to the initial value problem dydx=(x+y+2)2,y(0)=-2crosses the x-axis at a point in the interval [0,14] .By experimenting with the improved Euler’s method subroutine, determine this point to two decimal places.

Answer

The solution on the given conditions and on the interval cross x-axis at x = 1.27.

1Step 1: Find the equation of approximation value

Here dydx=(x+y+2)2,y(0)=-2 ,

For,  xo=0, yo=-2, M = 280, h = 0.005, interval = 0,14

 F=f(x,y)=(x+y+2)2G=f(x+h,y+hF)=(x+y+2+0.005(1+(x+y+2)2))2

2Step 2: Solve for x and y

Apply initial points x=0,y=-2,h=0.005


 F(0,-2)=0G(0,-2)=0.000025

x=(x+h)y=x+h2(F+G)x=0.005y=-2



3Step 3: Determine the all other values

Apply the same procedure for all other values and the values are 

 

(x = 1.270, y = -0.047)

 

(x = 1.275, y = 0.006)

 

Hence, the solution on the given conditions and on the interval cross x-axis at x=1.27.
