We have
So using h = 0.01, we have
Thus, the answer is (d).
We have
So using h = 0.01, we have
Thus, the answer is (d).

Question 3 pts
(Lesson 3.1: Solving a Differential Equation.) Consider the differential
equation with . What is the exact
formula for ?
a.
b.
Correct!
c.
This takes a little work. The good news is that you can actually get
the true answer using the technique of separation of variables. We
have
so that
Which implies
,
so that , where and are arbitrary constants.
Setting implies that , so that the exact answer is ,
the answer is , i.e., choice (c).
d.
