Answer

$y_1=2, y_2=2.0202,y_3=2.0618$, $y=e^{x^2}+1$, $y(0.3)=e^{(0.3)^2}+1 \approx 2.0942$

Work Step by Step

Use $y_{n+1}=y_n+f(x_n,y_n) dx$ , we have $x_0=0,x_1=0+0.1=0.1, x_2=0.1+0.1=0.2$ when $y(0)=2$ and $y_1=2, y_2=2.0202,y_3=2.0618$ Now, $\int dy=\int (2x) [e^{x^2}] dx$ and $y=e^{(x^2)}+c$ Next, apply the initial conditions $y(0)=2$ , we get $ \implies e^{(0^2)}+c=2$ or, $c=1$ Now, $y=e^{x^2}+c \implies y=e^{x^2}+1$ Hence, $y(0.3)=e^{(0.3)^2}+1 \approx 2.0942$
