Explanation: Given,
y′=2x+y, y(0)=-1, h=0.1, y(0.1)=?
y′=2x+y
y′′=2+y′
y′′′=y′′
y′′′′=y′′′
Now substituting, we get
y0′=2×0+y0=-1
y0′′=2+y0′=1
y0′′′=y0′′=1
y0′′′′=y0′′′=1
Putting these values in Taylor Series, we have
y1=y0+hy0′+(h2 /2!)y0′′+(h3/3!)y0′′′+(h4/4!)y0′′′′+…
=-1+0.1⋅(-1)+((0.1)2/2!)⋅(1)+((0.1)3/3!)⋅(1)+((0.1)4/4!)⋅(1)+…
=-1-0.1+0.005+0+0+…
=-1.0948
∴y(0.1)=-1.0948
2. What will be y(0.1) for y′=(x+y)/2, y(0) = -1, with step length 0.1 using Taylor Series method?

c) -0.614
d) -1.0487
View Answer
Explanation: Given,
y′=(x+y)/2, y(0)=-1, h=0.1, y(0.1)=?
y′=(x+y)/2
y′′=(2+2y′)/4
y′′′=8y′′/16
y′′′′=128y′′′/256
Now substituting, we get
y0′=(x0+y0)/2=-0.5
y0′′=(2+2y0′)/4=0.25
y0′′′=(8y0′′)/16=0.125
y0′′′′=(128y0′′′)/256=0.0625
Putting these values in Taylor Series, we have
y1=y0+hy0′+(h2 /2!)y0′′+(h3/3!)y0′′′+(h4/4!)y0′′′′+…
=-1+0.1⋅(-0.5)+((0.1)2/2!)⋅(0.25)+((0.1)3/3!)⋅(0.125)+((0.1)4/4!)⋅(0.0625)+…
