Q 1: An ordinary differential equation (ODE), \frac{dy}{dx}=2y , with an initial condition y(0) = 1, has the analytical solution y=e^{2x} . Using the Runge-Kutta second-order method, numerically integrate the ODE to calculate y at x = 0.5 using a step size of h = 0.5. If the relative percentage error is defined as,

\varepsilon=\left|\frac{y_{analytical}-y_{numerical}}{y_{analytical}}\right|\times100
