Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider the ODE dy/dt = 2y with y(0) = 1. Use both Euler's Method and RK4 with h=0.1 to compute the approximate value of y(0.2). Compare your results.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Apply the corresponding formulas step by step for both methods.

Question 2

For the ODE dy/dt = -5y with y(0) = 10, discuss the impact of using a larger step size h on the solution stability and accuracy for Euler's method.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Relate to stability discussions we've had in class.
