COURSEWORK REASSESSMENT

For your reassessment you are required to:

Provide model answers to all eight questions and show full working
out. A total of 100 marks are available. You can either type your
solutions or write them out by hand and then scan your solution
sheets into one continues document only. Please insert your name and
KU number on the first page of your solution sheets. The assessment
must be submitted electronically via the Study-Space, under
Reassessment section in ME5112 module.
Untidy work or Late work will not be marked at all.
By submitting the work through the electronic drop box you acknowledge that
you have read and understood the following:
1. The attached work is all your own, and where you have quoted from, used or
referred to the opinions, work or writings of others, these have been fully and
clearly acknowledged.
2. For the purpose of detecting plagiarism your work may be submitted to a
third party for screening.
3. The work submitted late will be subject to late submissions penalties unless
a formal agreed extension has been granted by the Student Support Office and
the assignment setter.

Deadline for Submission is

8 pm on 23rd August 2016

where y = 1 when x = 0.
(i)

Solve this equation analytically, and find the exact values of y at

x = 0.1 and at x = 0.2.
(7 marks)

(ii)

Now use Eulers method with a step size h = 0.1 to produce numerical
estimates of y at x = 0.1 and at x = 0.2, giving your answers correct to 5
decimal places.
(8 marks)

(iii)

Compare your numerical answer for y at x = 0.1 from (ii) part with the exact
solution (in part (i)). And determine the percentage error that involved in this
approximation.
