TopicFixed Point Iteration

1 A curve passes through the point ( 1,3 ) and satisfies the differential equation $$\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = 1 + x ^ { 3 }$$ Starting at the point ( 1,3 ), use a step-by-step method with a step length of 0.1 to estimate the \(y\)-coordinate of the point on the curve for which \(x = 1.3\). Give your answer to three decimal places.
