1. If the trapezoidal rule is exact for approximating the integral ∫0 (𝑥 3 − 𝑐𝑥 2 )𝑑𝑥 for
ℎ = 1, then find the value of 𝑐.

2. For what values of 𝑐 the trapezoidal rule with ℎ = 1 is exact to approximate the

integral ∫0 (𝑥 3 − 𝑐𝑥)𝑑𝑥 ?

3. The concentration of salt 𝑥 in a home made soap maker is given as a function of time
by
𝑑𝑥
= 37.5 − 3.5𝑥
𝑑𝑡
At the initial time 𝑡 = 0, the salt concentration in the tank is 50 𝑔/𝐿. Using Euler’s
modified method and a step size of ℎ = 1.5 𝑚𝑖𝑛, what is the salt concentration after
3 minutes ?

4. Let 𝑦(𝑥) be the solution of the initial value problem = √𝑦 + 2𝑥 subject to
𝑑𝑥
𝑦(1.2) = 2. Use Euler’s modified method with the step size ℎ = 0.05 to find the
