and = 1. Show the approximate solutions (for = 0, 2
, 1) and the exact solution in the
tabular form.

For the following initial value problems, show all the graphs of approximate solutions and
exact solution using subplot.

y 0 + 2xy 2 = 0, 0 x 5, y(0) = 1. The exact solution is given by y(x) = .
1 + x2

y 0 = y 2 + 2x x4 , 0 x 2, y(0) = 0. The exact solution is given by y(x) = x2 .

y 0 = y 3 8x3 + 2, 0 x 2, y(0) = 0. The exact solution is given by y(x) = 2x.
