Core pure mathematics 2 Table of contents Introduction Examples Exercise 7D 1. Introduction We can use given boundary conditions to find a particular solution to a second-order differential equation. Since there are two arbitrary constants, we will need two boundary conditions to determine the complete particular solution. 2. Examples Example 1. Find $y$ in terms of $x$, given that $$ \begin{ali..
