Euler's method?

Describe how to modify Euler's method to deal with the initial condition of y(5)=3 instead of y(0)=3.

Use this on the equation y'=1+t using a time step of 0.1 and initial condition of y(5)=3 and find y(5.4) .
??

Now find the exact solution of this equation using calculus and find what the exact answer is.

= ?
What is the percentage error in the value Euler's method gave at t=5.4?

Percentage error = ? percent

well so what is euler's method? probably a good place start
 

Thread 'Finding the nth roots of a complex number'

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
