The Department of Hokie Pokie at Our Favorite University holds a competition for its undergraduates. The contest problem is to take 1000 steps using the Euler method with step size 0.001 for the initial value problem y'=0.25 y?, y(0)=1.1. The answer has to be provided in 30 seconds, so even our best math wizards have insufficient time to actually do the calculation and have to venture a guess. Sara says: My home state is round at the ends and everybody laughs when we say it is high in the middle. I think the answer is close to zero. John says: I believe in number one. USA! USA! The answer is close to 1. Miriam says: Carl Sagan is my kind of guy. Millions, billions, trillions. The answer is a large number. Kevin says: No, you are all wrong. The answer is approximately 1.52. The winner is O a) Sara. O b) Kevin. O c) Miriam. O d) John.

The chamber of commerce for a summer resort is trying to determine how many tourists will be visiting each season over the coming years. A marketing research firm has estimated that the number of tourist can be predicted by the equation p = 276, 000 + 7500t, where p = the number of tourists per year, and t = years (measured from this current season). Thus, t = Oidentifies the current season, t = 1 is the next season, etc. if p is plotted on the vertical axis : a. Graph the equation b. Identify the slope and y intercept (p intercept, here) c. Interpret the meaning of the slope and p intercept in this application

Consider the two tanks shown in the figure below. Assume that tank A contains 50 gallons of water in which 25 pounds of salt is dissolved. Suppose tank B contains 50 gallons of pure water. Liquid is pumped into and out of the tanks as indicated in the figure; the mixture exchanged between the two tanks and the liquid pumped out of tank B are assumed to be well stirred. We wish to construct a mathematical model that describes the number of pounds x₁(t) and x₂(t) of salt in tanks A and B, respectively, at time t. dx₁1 dt dx1 dt pure water 3 gal/min mixture 4 gal/min This system is described by the system of equations 1 50 2 25 dx2 dt 2 25 2 25*1 1 + -X2 mixture 1 gal/min -X2 B with initial conditions x₁(0) = 25, x₂(0) = 0 (see (3) and the surrounding discussion on mixtures on page 107).

A hand-held calculator will suffice for the Problem. The problem an initial value problem and its exact solution are given. Approximate the values of x(0.2) and y(0.2)in three ways: (a) by the Euler method with two steps of size h = 0.1; (b) by the improved Euler method with a single step of size h = 0.2; and (c) by the Runge–Kutta method with a single step of size h = 0.2. Compare the approximate values with the actual values x(0.2) and y(0.2). x' = x -2y, x(0) = 0, y' = 2x + y, y(0) = 4; x(t) = -4et sin 2t, y(t) = 4et cos 2t
