The above set of equations is represented by





Ans is )

Explanation:

Q 2: The fourth-order Runge-Kutta (RK4) method to solve an ordinary differential equation \frac{dy}{dx}=f(x,y) is given as

y(x+h)=y(x)+\frac16(k_1+2k_2+2k_3+k_4)

k_1=hf(x,y) k_2=hf\left(x+\frac h2,\;y+\frac{k_1}2\right) k_3=hf\left(x+\frac h2,\;y+\frac{k_2}2\right) k_4=hf(x+h,\;y+k_3)

For a special case when the function f depends solely on x, the above RK4 method reduces to
