Problema 9.1.22

Capitolo 9, Problema 9.1.22

Use Euler’s method with dx = 0.2 to estimate y(2) if y′ = y/x and y(1) = 2. What is the exact value of y(2)?

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Identify the differential equation and initial condition: \(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y}{x}\) with \(y(1) = 2\).

Set the step size \(\Delta x = 0.2\) and note that you want to estimate \(y(2)\) starting from \(x=1\).

Apply Euler's method iteratively: for each step, calculate the slope \(f(x_n, y_n) = \frac{y_n}{x_n}\), then update \(y\) using \(y_{n+1} = y_n + f(x_n, y_n) \cdot \Delta x\) and increment \(x\) by \(\Delta x\).

Perform the iterations from \(x=1\) to \(x=2\) in steps of \(0.2\), updating \(y\) at each step using the formula above.

To find the exact value of \(y(2)\), solve the differential equation analytically by separating variables: \(\frac{dy}{y} = \frac{dx}{x}\), integrate both sides, apply the initial condition to find the constant, and then evaluate the solution at \(x=2\).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Euler's Method

Euler's method is a numerical technique to approximate solutions of first-order differential equations. It uses a step size (dx) to incrementally estimate the value of the function by applying the slope given by the differential equation at each step. This method is especially useful when an exact solution is difficult to find.

Euler's Method

Solving First-Order Differential Equations

A first-order differential equation relates a function and its derivative. To solve it exactly, one often separates variables or uses an integrating factor. For the equation y' = y/x, separating variables allows integration to find the explicit formula for y(x), which can then be evaluated at any point.

Initial Value Problems (IVP)

An initial value problem specifies the value of the solution at a particular point, such as y(1) = 2. This condition is essential for determining the unique solution to a differential equation. Both numerical methods like Euler's and exact solutions rely on this initial condition to find or approximate y at other points.

Carbon monoxide pollution An executive conference room of a corporation contains 4500 ft³ of air initially free of carbon monoxide. Starting at time t = 0, cigarette smoke containing 4% carbon monoxide is blown into the room at the rate of 0.3 ft³/min. A ceiling fan keeps the air in the room well circulated and the air leaves the room at the same rate of 0.3 ft³/min. Find the time when the concentration of carbon monoxide in the room reaches 0.01%.

Sailing A sailboat is running along a straight course with the wind providing a constant forward force of 50 lb. The only other force acting on the boat is resistance as the boat moves through the water. The resisting force is numerically equal to five times the boat’s speed, and the initial velocity is 1 ft/sec. What is the maximum velocity in feet per second of the boat under this wind?
