Given a differential equation and an initial condition, find an estimate for a y-value for the solution of the
differential equation (y). (and perhaps sketch a partial solution)

Its all about working with pieces of tangent lines

Given that y(0) = 0.2, estimate y(0.3). (.1 per tick)

Estimate y(0.5) if y' = 2x + y and y(-1) 1.

Anytime you see a rate of growth expressed in the terms

Then you may skip the calculus and go directly to

There are 100 grams of funfetti. Funfetti disappears at a rate proportional to amount of funfetti available. The
half-life of funfetti is 8 seconds. When will the 100 grams become 10 grams?
