Q 3.7-6E
Expert-verifiedUse the Taylor methods of orders 2 and 4 with h = 0.25 to approximate the solution to the initial value problem , at x = 1. Compare these approximations to the actual solution evaluated at x = 1.
Here
Apply the chain rule.
Since
So, the equation is
Apply the same procedure as step 1
The recursive formula is
Where starting points are
Put all these values in recursive formulas for the other values.
Therefore the approximation of the solution by the Taylor method of order 2 at point x=1
Where starting points are .
Put all these values in recursive formulas for the other values.
Thus, the approximation of the solution by the Taylor method of order 4 at point x = 1
The actual solution at x = 1
Now combining the approximation with the actual solution at x = 1
Hence the solution is
