Use the improved Euler’s method subroutine with step size h= 0.2 to approximate the solution to the initial value problem at the points x= 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, and 1.8. (Thus, input N= 4.) Compare these approximations with those obtained using Euler’s method (see Exercises 1.4, Problem 6, page 28).
The Taylor method of order 2 can be used to approximate the solution to the initial value problem\({\bf{y' = y,y(0) = 1}}\) , at x= 1. Show that the approximation \({{\bf{y}}_{\bf{n}}}\)obtained by using the Taylor method of order 2 with the step size \(\frac{{\bf{1}}}{{\bf{n}}}\) is given by the formula\({{\bf{y}}_{\bf{n}}}{\bf{ = }}{\left( {{\bf{1 + }}\frac{{\bf{1}}}{{\bf{n}}}{\bf{ + }}\frac{{\bf{1}}}{{{\bf{2}}{{\bf{n}}^{\bf{2}}}}}} \right)^{\bf{n}}}\). The solution to the initial value problem is\({\bf{y = }}{{\bf{e}}^{\bf{x}}}\), so \({{\bf{y}}_{\bf{n}}}\)is an approximation to the constant e.
Use the improved Euler’s method with tolerance to approximate the solution to , at x= 1. For a tolerance of , use a stopping procedure based on the absolute error.
During the summer the temperature inside a van reaches , while that outside is a constant. When the driver gets into the van, she turns on the air conditioner with the thermostat set at. If the time constant for the van isand that for the van with its air conditioning system is, when will the temperature inside the van reach ?
A solar hot-water-heating system consists of a hot-water tank and a solar panel. The tank is well insulated and has a time constant of 64 hr. The solar panel generates 2000 Btu/hr during the day, and the tank has a heat capacity of per thousand Btu. If the water in the tank is initiallyand the room temperature outside the tank is, what will be the temperature in the tank after 12 hr of sunlight?
