Homework Statement
Note: I think there is a typo here but I'm not sure. Is there supposed to be a comma between the delta t/2 and y_n on K2 and K3, and delta t and y_n on K4?
Homework Equations
See above.
The Attempt at a Solution
Substituting dy/t = z gives
[itex]\frac{dz}{dt} = 3z - 2ty - cos(t)
\frac{dy}{dt} = z[/itex]
I'm not sure where to go from here. I can find K_1, but I'm not sure how to find K_2z as it depends on t, y, and z. What do I choose for z in K2? Do I need to redefine K_2 as
[itex] f \left ( t_n + \frac{\Delta t}{2}, y_n + \frac{K_1_y}{2}, z_n + \frac{k_1_z}{2} \right )[/itex] Is there some other way I should approach the problem?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
