Question

It is given that \(\left( {5x + y} \right)\frac{{{\text{d}}y}}{{{\text{d}}x}} = \left( {x + 5y} \right)\) and that when \(x = 0,\,\,y = 2\).

Use Euler’s method with step length 0.1 to find an approximate value of \(y\) when \(x = 0.4\).

[5]
a.

Show that \(\left( {5x + y} \right)\frac{{{{\text{d}}^2}y}}{{{\text{d}}{x^2}}} = 1 - {\left( {\frac{{{\text{d}}y}}{{{\text{d}}x}}} \right)^2}\).

[3]
b.i.

Show that \(\left( {5x + y} \right)\frac{{{{\text{d}}^3}y}}{{{\text{d}}{x^3}}} =  - 5\frac{{{{\text{d}}^2}y}}{{{\text{d}}{x^2}}} - 3\left( {\frac{{{\text{d}}y}}{{{\text{d}}x}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{{{\text{d}}^2}y}}{{{\text{d}}{x^2}}}} \right)\).

[4]
b.ii.

Find the Maclaurin expansion for \(y\) up to and including the term in \({{x^3}}\).

Euler’s method with step length \(h = 0.1\) to find \(y\) when \(x = 0.4\)

Note: Accept 3 significant figures in the table.

first line of table       (M1)(A1)

line 2        (A1)

line 3        (A1)

hence \(y\) = 3.65       A1

Note: Accept any answer that rounds to 3.65.
