Due: Tue. 19-Feb-2019

For the problem you have solved in the previous assignment:

𝑑𝑦1
= −𝑦2 𝑦10.5 − ∅ 𝑦3 𝑦10.5
𝑑𝑥

𝑑𝑦2
= −𝑦2 𝑦10.5
𝑑𝑥

𝑑𝑦3
= 𝑦2 𝑦10.5 − ∅ 𝑦3 𝑦10.5
𝑑𝑥

𝑥 = 0, 𝑦1 = 1, 𝑦2 = 0.5 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦3 = 0

Using  = 0.55 and h = 0.1, modify the MATLAB code IVP.m to solve this problem for the
following three methods:

a) (20 points) 2nd-order explicit Adams-Bashford method, (send this code as

lastname_HW5_a.m):
𝑦𝑛+1 − 𝑦𝑛 3 1
= 𝑓𝑛 − 𝑓𝑛−1
ℎ 2 2

b) (20 points) 4th-oder Rung-Kutta method, (send this code as lastname_HW5_b.m):
