25. (AP 2010-5) Consider the differential equation = 1 − y . Let y = f ( x ) be the particular solution to
dx
this differential equation with the initial condition f (1) = 0 . For this particular solution, f ( x ) < 1 for
all values of x.

(a) Use Euler’s method, starting at x = 1 with two steps of equal size, to approximate f ( 0 ) . Show the
work that leads to your answer.
