Solving IVP with Euler's Method: Step Size h = 0.1

Hi all.

Could someone give me a hand with this:

Using Euler's method find an approximate solution to the IVP using step size h = 0.1

\frac{dy}{dx} = 4xy + 3 , y(0)=0

I know how to use Euler's method for something simple like \frac{dy}{dx} = x + y
But I'm just not to sure what to take as the f(x,y).

Is it just simply f(x,y) = 4xy + 3

Thanks for any help.

Yes.
 
Ok cool.
Thanks for the help!
 
I assume that since the answer was "yes", you will give it the most thought!

Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
