Answer

$y(0.5)=y_{6}=0.421$

Work Step by Step

We are given $\frac{dy}{dx}=xy+4$ so that $g(x,y)=xy+4$ Since $x=0, y=0$ $g(x_{0},y_{0})=0+4=4$ and $y_{1}=y_{0}+g(x_{0},y_{0})h=0+4\times0.1=0.4$ Now $x_{1}=0.1, y_{1}=0.4$ and $g(x_{1},y_{1})=0.1\times0.4+4=4.04$ Then $y_{2}=0+4.04\times0.1=0.404$ $y_{3}=0+(4.081)\times0.1=0.408$ $y_{4}=0+(4.122)\times0.1=0.412$ $y_{5}=0+(4.165)\times0.1=0.417$ $y_{6}=0+(4.209)\times0.1=0.421$ $y(0.5)$ mean $x=0.5 \rightarrow y_{6}=0.421$
