Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the differential equation dy/dx = sin(x) with y(0) = 0, apply the RK4 method over the interval [0, π/2] with a step size of h = 0.1. Calculate y(π/2).

💡 Hint: Pay close attention to how the sin function behaves within this interval.

Question 2

Consider the equation dy/dx = (y^2)/x with the initial condition y(1) = 1. Use RK4 to approximate y(2) using h = 0.5.

💡 Hint: Use each k value carefully as y grows rapidly in this region.
