Consider the ODE \(\frac{dy}{dx} = 3y + 2\) with the initial condition \(y(0) = 1\). Use Picard’s method to construct the first two iterations.
💡 Hint: You're essentially computing two definite integrals using your current approximations.
Solve the IVP \(\frac{dy}{dx} = y^2 + x, \ y(0) = 0\), using Picard’s method to derive the first two iterations and predict the behavior.
