Textbook Question

Chapter 1.4, Problem 16E

Consider the initial-value problem dy/dt= 2 − y,y(0) = 1. Using Euler’s method, compute three different approximate solutions corresponding to Δ t = 1.0, 0.5. and 0.25 over the interval 0 ≤ t ≤ 4 . Graph all three solutions. What predictions do you make about the actual solution to the initial-value problem? How do the graphs of these approximate solutions relate to the graph of the actual solution? Why?
