Answer

$y(1)=0.512$

Work Step by Step

We have $$y'=-\frac{2xy}{1+x^2}$$ Setting $h=0.1$ in equation $y'=-\frac{2xy}{1+x^2}$ $$y_{n+1}=y_n+0.1(-\frac{2xy}{1+x^2})$$ Hence, $y_1=y_0+0.1(-\frac{2xy}{1+x^2})=1$ $y_2=y_1+0.1(-\frac{2xy}{1+x^2})=0.98$ $y_3=y_2+0.1(-\frac{2xy}{1+x^2})=0.942$ $y_4=y_3+0.1(-\frac{2xy}{1+x^2})=0.891$ $y_5=y_4+0.1(-\frac{2xy}{1+x^2})=0.829$ $y_6=y_5+0.1(-\frac{2xy}{1+x^2})=0.763$ $y_7=y_6+0.1(-\frac{2xy}{1+x^2})=0696$ $y_8=y_7+0.1(-\frac{2xy}{1+x^2})=0.61$ $y_9=y_8+0.1(-\frac{2xy}{1+x^2})=0.569$ $y_{10}=y_9+0.1(-\frac{2xy}{1+x^2})=0.512$ If we increase the step size to $h = 0.1$, the corresponding approximation to $y(1)$ becomes $y_{10}=0.512$
