    Default Need help on a first order ODE.

    The equation is:

    It has the conditions:
    x(1) = 0
    x(11) = 8
    y(0) = -1

    What I'm looking for is y(2) and y(11) using Euler's explicit method, Euler's modified method, and RK4 method.

    What I'm thinking is to use the bounds x = 0 and x = 8, but I'm thinking that since I bounded x from 0 to 8, it does not allow me to use x = 9 to 11. So instead, I bounded it from y = 1 to 11, and use x = 0 for the initial condition. Does that work?

    Nevermind, figured it out. The teacher made some mistakes on the homework, thanks for taking your time to look anyways.
