Q. Find the numerical solution of following differential equation dx/dt=

t-0.1x^2 with initial condition x0=1 in the range 0<= t <=0.8 and draw
the graph of the solution by using ode 23 solver.

Ans:-
command
M file:-
function xdot=f(t,x)
xdot=t-0.1*x^2;

command window

>> tspan=[0 0.8];

>> x0=1;
>> [t,x]=ode23('f3',tspan,x0)
