Using Euler's method, we have:
$$y_1=y_0+f(x_0,y_0)dx=2+6(0^{{{{2}{2}0.06)}}}(0.1)=2.362 $$
$$y_2=y_1+f(x_1,y_1)dx=2.362+6(0.1^{{{{2}{2}0.16)}}}(0.1)=2.728 $$
$$y_3=y_2+f(x_2,y_2)dx=2.728+6(0.2^{{{{2}{2}0.26)}}}(0.1)=3.119 $$
$$y_4=y_3+f(x_3,y_3)dx=3.119+6(0.3^{{{{2}{2}0.36)}}}(0.1)=3.540 $$
$$y_5=y_4+f(x_4,y_4)dx=3.540+6(0.4^{{{{2}{2}0.46)}}}(0.1)=3.998 $$
$$y_6=y_5+f(x_5,y_5)dx=3.998+6(0.5^{{{{2}{2}0.56)}}}(0.1)=4.501 $$
$$y_7=y_6+f(x_6,y_6)dx=4.501+6(0.6^{{{{2}{2}0.66)}}}(0.1)=5.057 $$
$$y_8=y_7+f(x_7,y_7)dx=5.057+6(0.7^{{{{2}{2}0.76)}}}(0.1)=5.675 $$
$$y_9=y_8+f(x_8,y_8)dx=5.675+6(0.8^{{{{2}{2}0.86)}}}(0.1)=6.365 $$
$$y_{10}=y_9+f(x_9,y_9)dx=6.365+6(0.9^{{{{2}{2}0.96)}}}(0.1)=7.137 $$
So, using Euler's method with a step size of 0.1, we get an estimate of y(1) to be $y_{10}=7.137$.
To obtain the exact solution, we can use separation of variables to obtain
$$y=\int 6x^{x^6}dx+C.$$
However, there's no elementary antiderivative available for this function. Thus, we can use numerical integration to estimate the exact solution. Using the trapezoidal rule with a step size of 0.1, we get an estimate of the exact solution to be $3.7183$.
