Exercise · ZW-RUNGE-KUTTA-METHODS-009 · ★★☆ Intermediate
For \(y'=t+y\), \(y(0)=1\), what is \(k_1\) in the first step?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- C. \(1\)
Explanation
Evaluating \(f(0,1)=0+1\) gives \(k_1=1\), by substituting \(t=0\) and \(y=1\).
Review the concept: Runge-Kutta methods
Runge-Kutta methods are families of one-step numerical schemes that approximate the solution of an initial value problem by evaluating the function \(f\) at several intermediate points within each step.
\[y_{n+1}=y_n+h\sum_{i=1}^{s} b_i k_i\]
