For a differential equation dydx=g(x)\dfrac{dy}{dx} = g(x), Euler's method is applied with step size 0.50.5 starting at (1,1)(1,1). If g(1)=2g(1) = 2 and g(1.5)=3g(1.5) = 3, what is the approximation of f(2)f(2)?

A.3.53.5
B.33
C.44
D.2.52.5

Explanation

Core Concept

The first step adds 0.5(2)=10.5(2)=1 to reach (1.5,2)(1.5,2), and the second adds 0.5(3)=1.50.5(3)=1.5 to reach 3.53.5.

Correct Answer

A3.53.5
