Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Analytically find the solution to the equation dy/dx = 2 - y, with an initial condition y(0)=1 and subsequently use Modified Euler’s Method with h=0.1 to approximate y(0.5). Compare the values and explain the differences.
💡 Hint: Focus on both solving the analytical equation and implementing numerical steps iteratively.
Explore the implications of step size on the accuracy of Modified Euler's Method. What would happen if step size h were halved? Perform an analysis between h=0.1 and h=0.05 using the same initial value problem.
💡 Hint: Compare your results closely from both methods while adjusting h.
