(a) Find approximate values of the solution of the given initial value problem\\
at $t = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3$, and $0.4$ using the Euler method with $h = 0.1$.(b) Repeat part (a) with h = 0.05. Compare the results with those found in (a).(c) Repeat part (a) with h = 0.025. Compare the results with those found in (a) and (b).(d) Find the solution $y=\phi(t)$ of the given problem and evaluate
$\phi(t)$ at $t = 0.1,\quad 0.2, \quad 0.3,$ and $0.4$.#1. $\quad\displaystyle
y'=3+t-y \quad y(0)=1$ok assume first step is to get a general solution
rewrite
$y'+y=3+t $
then
$ey'+ey=(ey)'=3+t$
so
$\displaystyle ey=\int{(3+t)} \, dt= \frac{t^2}{2} + 3 t + c$
isolate
$\displaystyle y=\frac{t^2}{2e} + 3 te^{-1} + c^{-e}$
$\color{red}{(a) 1.2, 1.39, 1.571, 1.7439}$
$\color{red}{(b) 1.1975, 1.38549, 1.56491, 1.73658}$
$\color{red}{(c) 1.19631, 1.38335, 1.56200, 1.73308}$
$\color{red}{(d) 1.19516, 1.38127, 1.55918, 1.72968}$Red is book answer
If I can get #1 probably 2,3 and 4 will be a slide
which are
2. $\quad y'=2y-1 \quad y(0)=1$
3. $\quad\displaystyle
y'=y'=0.5-t+2y, \quad y(0)=1$
4. $\quad\displaystyle
3\cos{t} -2y \quad y(0)=0 $

Euler's method is:
\begin{cases}
t_{k+1}&=t_k+h \\
y_{k+1}&=y_k+h\cdot y'(t_k; y_k)
\end{cases}
At $t_0=0$ we have $y_0=1$, so with $y'=3+t-y$ and $h=0.1$ we have at $t_1$:
\begin{cases}
t_1=t_0+h=0.1 \\
y_1=y_0 + 0.1\cdot y'(0;1)=1 + 0.1 (3+0-1)=1.2
\end{cases}
 
ok I am still processing understanding this saw this on another example
not sure what n is

$$\displaystyle y_{n+1}=y_n +\textit{$hf_n$}$$:confused:

Close enough.
The function $f$ describes $y'$. That is, we have:
$$y'(t) = f(t,y)$$
And $f_n$ is its value at $t_n, y_n$.

Ok I'll try the next one
See if i don't derail

karush, I know you are still learning new material. I can understand that will cause you some difficulties... it's learning.

But how can you pick out a question to put in your collection without knowing the idea of the problem? Euler's method is an approximation method to solve DEqs. You don't need to actually solve the thing until step d and you said you assumed you needed to start by doing it!
