Euler’s Method
1. To solve the ordinary differential equation
dy
3 + 5 y 2 = sin x, y (0 ) = 5
dx
by Euler’s method, you need to rewrite the equation as
dy
(A) = sin x − 5 y 2 , y (0) = 5
dx
dy 1
(B) = (sin x − 5 y 2 ), y (0) = 5

(C) 
= − cos x − , y (0) = 5
dx 3  3 
dy 1
(D) = sin x, y (0) = 5
dx 3

2. Given
dy
3 + 5 y 2 = sin x, y (0.3) = 5
dx
and using a step size of h = 0.3 , the value of y (0.9 ) using Euler’s method is most
nearly
(A) − 35.318
(B) − 36.458
(C) − 658.91
(D) − 669.05

3. Given
dy

dx

and using a step size of h = 0.3 , the best estimate of (0.9) using Euler’s method is
dx

(A) − 0.37319
(B) − 0.36288
(C) − 0.35381
(D) − 0.34341

4. The velocity ( m s ) of a body is given as a function of time (seconds) by


v(t ) = 200 ln (1 + t ) − t , t ≥ 0
Using Euler’s method with a step size of 5 seconds, the distance in meters traveled by
the body from t = 2 to t = 12 seconds is most nearly
(A) 3133.1
(B) 3939.7
(C) 5638.0
(D) 39397

5. Euler’s method can be derived by using the first two terms of the Taylor series of
writing the value of yi +1 , that is the value of y at xi +1 , in terms of yi and all the
derivatives of y at xi . If h = xi +1 − xi , the explicit expression for y i +1 if the first three
terms of the Taylor series are chosen for the ordinary differential equation
dy

6. A homicide victim is found at 6:00 PM in an office building that is maintained at


72  F . When the victim was found, his body temperature was at 85  F . Three hours
later at 9:00 PM, his body temperature was recorded at 78  F . Assume the
temperature of the body at the time of death is the normal human body temperature of
98.6  F .
The governing equation for the temperature θ of the body is
dθ
= −k (θ − θ a )
dt
where,
θ = temperature of the body,  F
θ a = ambient temperature,  F
t = time, hours
k = constant based on thermal properties of the body and air.
The estimated time of death most nearly is
(A) 2:11 PM
(B) 3:13 PM
(C) 4:34 PM
(D) 5:12 PM
