Re: second derivative
hi Graeme92
Welcome to the forum.
If N is a number
Then you can substitute in the given values to determine C and D.
The second question starts the same but you might be wondering what to do with
where F is the function after the first integration.
You can think of this as
Post again if you need more detail.

Re: second derivative
hi Graeme92
Actually all integration is like question 2!
eg.
Splitting the derivative like this is used a lot in differential equations.
You only need to introduce a constant of integration on one side as a constant on each side could be replaced by just one.

Re: second derivative
hi Graeme92
You've been given enough information to substitute in and work out the constants, C and D. So the 'solution' will be a formula for calculating h, given any value for x.
