Answer

$y(1.5)=8.074$

Work Step by Step

We are given $\frac{dy}{dx}=2x\sqrt 1+y^{2}$ so that $g(x,y)=2x\sqrt 1+y^{2}$ Since $x=1, y=2$ $g(x_{0},y_{0})=2\sqrt 5 \approx 4.472$ and $y_{1}=y_{0}+g(x_{0},y_{0})h=2+4.472\times0.1=2.447$ Now $x_{1}=1.1, y_{1}=2.447$ and $g(x_{1},y_{1})=5.816$ Then $y_{2}=2.447+(5.816)\times0.1=3.029$ $y_{3}=3.029+(7.66)\times0.1=3.795$ $y_{4}=3.795+(10.204)\times0.1=4.815$ $y_{5}=4.815+(13.77)\times0.1=6.192$ $y_{6}=6.192+(18.817)\times0.1=8.074$
