Practice Questions
Test your understanding with targeted questions
What is the formula used in Euler's Method to estimate the next y-value?
💡 Hint: Remember, we start with the current y-value and add the slope multiplied by step size.
If the step size is 0.2, what is the slope at point (0, 1) if the function is defined as $f(x,y) = x + y$?
💡 Hint: Evaluate the function at the initial condition.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Using Euler’s Method, estimate the value of $y(2)$ for the equation $\frac{dy}{dx} = y^2 - x$ given $y(0) = 1$ and using a step size of 0.5. Assess three iterations.
💡 Hint: Break down the calculations step-by-step, evaluating the function at each point.
Using a differential equation $\frac{dy}{dx} = -2y + x$ and $y(0)=1$, apply Euler's Method to find $y(0.5)$ with step size 0.1. After applying, discuss the implication of your results.
💡 Hint: Remember to keep recalculating your new y-value with each x increment!
