Numerical Methods: Euler to Runge–Kutta · Challenge problem

For the test equation y′=λyy' = \lambda y, one RK4 step multiplies yny_n by R(z)=1+z+z22+z36+z424R(z) = 1 + z + \dfrac{z^2}{2} + \dfrac{z^3}{6} + \dfrac{z^4}{24}, where z=λhz = \lambda h. For λ=−20\lambda = -20, find the largest step size hh with ∣R(z)∣≤1|R(z)| \le 1. Round to the nearest thousandth.
