Numerical Methods: Euler to Runge–Kutta · Hard problem

Apply two steps of the backward Euler method yn+1=yn+h f(tn+1,yn+1)y_{n+1} = y_n + h\, f(t_{n+1}, y_{n+1}) with h=12h = \dfrac{1}{2} to the decay problem y′=−5yy' = -5y, y(0)=1y(0) = 1, to estimate y(1)y(1). Express your answer as a common fraction.
