Question:
Solve the initial value problem.
{eq}\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 4 \sec^2 x;~y'(\frac {\pi}{4}) = 0;~y(0) = 0 {/eq}
The solution is {eq}y = {/eq}
(Type an exact answer, using {eq}\pi {/eq} as needed.)
Initial Value Problem:
With the help of the indefinite integration, we can find the {eq}(m-1)^{th}
{/eq} order derivative by integrating the {eq}m^{th}
{/eq} order derivative. For example, we can obtain {eq}f'(x)+C
{/eq} on integrating {eq}\displaystyle\int f''(x)\ \text dx.
{/eq} The result will contain an arbitrary constant which can be easily eliminated by plugging the given initial conditions.

Given equation: {eq}\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 4 \sec^2 x\Rightarrow y''(x)=4\sec^2 x
{/eq}
Now, we will integrate both sides using the rule...
