Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What value of \( k_1 \) do we compute in the first iteration if \( x_0 = 0 \) and \( y_0 = 1 \)?

💡 Hint: Evaluate the function at the initial point.

Question 2

Easy

If the initial step size is \( h = 0.1 \), what is the predicted value \( y^* \) after the first iteration?

💡 Hint: Use the formula for prediction with the calculated slope.

Question 1

What is the main advantage of the Modified Euler's Method over the standard Euler's Method?

  • It is easier to compute
  • It uses only one slope
  • It improves accuracy by averaging slopes

💡 Hint: Think about how multiple data points affect estimates.

Question 2

True or False: The Modified Euler's Method requires two function evaluations for each step.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall how we calculated both slopes.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the differential equation \( \frac{dy}{dx} = y - x^2 + 1 \) with an initial condition \( y(0) = 0.5 \) and step size \( h = 0.2 \), calculate \( y(0.2) \) using the Modified Euler’s Method.

💡 Hint: Remember to calculate both slopes at each step just like in our example.

Question 2

Discuss how the error in the Modified Euler's Method can accumulate across iterations. Illustrate it with an example of taking too large of a step size.

💡 Hint: Think about how estimates differ when you leap over more points on the function.
