Q 1
A function of two variables is given by, f (x,y) = 4x3 + 7xy4 - 5y2 + 8.
Determine, fxx + fyx at x = 6.62 and y = 1.21, giving your answer to 3 decimal places.
Answer:
Q2
Consider the initial value problem,
f(x,y) = y(18.17 - y), y(0) = 12.
The exact solution of the problem increases from y(0) =12 to y = 18.17 as x increases without limit. Determine the minimum upper bound of h for the classical 4th-order Runge Kutta method to be absolutely stable for this problem. Give your answer to 3 decimal places.
Answer:
Q 3
An initial-value problem is given by the differential equation,
f(x,y) = –20xy2, y(1) = 1.
Use the classical fourth-order Runge-Kutta method with a step-size of h = 0.02, to obtain the approximate value of y(1.02). Give your answer to 6 decimal places.

Q4
A function of three variables is given by, f (x,y,t) = x3y2sin t + 4x2t + 5yt2 + 4xycos t. Find ft (8.18,0.58,3.16) giving your answer to 3 decimal places.
Answer:
Q5
An initial-value problem is given by the differential equation,
f(x,y) = x(1 - y2), y(1) = 0.48.
Use the Euler-trapezoidal method with a step-size of h = 0.1, to obtain the approximate value of y(1.1). Give your answer to 4 decimal places.
Answer:
Q6
An initial-value problem is given by the differential equation, f(x,y) = x + y,
y(0) = 0.45
The Euler-midpoint method is used to find an approximate value to y(0.1) with a step size of h = 0.1. Then use the integrating factor method, to find the exact value of y(0.1). Hence, determine the global error, giving your answer to 5 decimal places.
Note that Global Error = Approximate Value - Exact Value.
