You are given the ODE $$ \frac{dy}{dx} = 3y $$ with $y(0) = 1$. Using Euler's Method with a step size of $h = 0.05$, approximate the value of $y(0.2)$. Show your work.
💡 Hint: Keep track of each value and how $f$ changes at every step.
Apply Euler's Method to $$ \frac{dy}{dx} = x^2 - y $$ with $y(0) = 0$. Find $y(0.1)$ and $y(0.2)$ using $h = 0.1$. Describe any changes you notice in your process.
💡 Hint: Pay attention to how the function's form affects the slope and resulting $y$ values.
