Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given the differential equation dy/dx = -y^2 + 2, with y(0) = 1, find y(0.1) using Heun's Method and step size h = 0.1. Analyze if the answer is reasonable or not.
💡 Hint: Check your calculations at each predictor and corrector step.
For the equation dy/dx = x - y, y(0) = 0.5, estimate y(0.2) using Heun's Method with h = 0.1. Discuss the significance of your result.
💡 Hint: Investigate if this aligns with a physical interpretation in terms of growth or decay.
