For dydx=x2−y\dfrac{dy}{dx}=x^{2}-y with y(0.10)=0.50y(0.10)=0.50, approximate y(0.25)y(0.25) by taking two successive steps: (i) a step of Δx=0.10\Delta x=0.10 from x=0.10x=0.10 to x=0.20x=0.20, followed by (ii) a step of Δx=0.05\Delta x=0.05 from x=0.20x=0.20 to x=0.25x=0.25. Give the final numerical approximation of y(0.25)y(0.25).
