find the (approximate) value of y(0.5) for dy/dt = t^2 + y^2, y(0)=1 on the interval [0, 0.5] in matlab
main.m
% Define the differential equation dy/dt = t^2 + y^2dydt = @(t, y) t.^2 + y.^2;
% Define the initial conditiony0 = 1;
% Define the intervaltspan = [00.5];
% Solve the differential equation using ode45[t, y] = ode45(dydt, tspan, y0);
% Interpolate the value of y at t=0.5y_at_05 = interp1(t, y, 0.5);
% Display the resultdisp(['The approximate value of y(0.5) is ', num2str(y_at_05)]);
