Graphing the given function using the graphing utility.
Apply Euler's method to the following differential equation to estimate the solution at t = 1 starting from the given initial condition. First use one step with Δt = 1, and then use two steps with Δt = .5. Compare with the exact solution w(t) = 2ln(1 + t) + 3.
dw/dt = 2/(1+t), with initial condition w(0) = 3.
