we now define Ksubscript4 = F(x subscript n + h, y subscript n + hK subscript 3) as the value of y' at the fourth point.

p.104
however, if we note that each of these functions is a solution of the differential equation y''' + a superscript 2 y'= 0, then Theorem 6.3 applies and the fact that W(x) = 0 for all x guarantees that the functions are linearly dependent on any interval.
