Example Question #554 : How To Find Differential Functions

The expression of a particular function is unknown; however, we have an expression for its derivative. Knowing that $f'(x)=sin(2^{e^{x}})$ and y(3)=2 , approximate y(6) using Euler's Method and three steps.

Possible Answers:

0.383

1.063

0.915

1.561

2.147

Correct answer:

1.063

Explanation:

The general form of Euler's method, when a derivative function, initial value, and step size are known, is:

$y_n=y_{n+1} +\Delta x f'(x_n,y_n)$

To calculate the step size find the distance between the final and initial value and divide by the number of steps to be used:

$\Delta x = \frac{x_f-x_i}{Steps}$

For this problem, we are told $f'(x)=sin(2^{e^{x}})$ and y(3)=2

Knowing this, we may take the steps to estimate our function value at our final value:

$\Delta x = \frac{6-3}{3}=1$

y_0=2,x_0=3

$y_1=2+(1)sin(2^{e^{3}})=1.326$

$y_2=1.326+(1)sin(2^{e^{4}})=0.916$

$y_3=0.916+(1)sin(2^{e^{5}})=1.063$

Correct answer:

5.305

Explanation:

The general form of Euler's method, when a derivative function, initial value, and step size are known, is:

$\Delta x = \frac{1.5-0}{3}=0.5$

y_0=4,x_0=0

$y_1=4+0.5(cos(0))^{cos(0)}=4.5$

$y_2=4.5+0.5(cos(0.5))^{cos(0.5)}=4.946$

$y_3=4.946+0.5(cos(1))^{cos(1)}=5.305$
