Consider

[tex]\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}=k[/tex]--------------[0]

and

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx}=y_{a}[/tex]

Then

[tex]y_{f}-y_{i}=\frac{k}{2}(x_{f}^{2}-x_{i}^{2})[/tex]-----------[1]

[tex]y_{af}-y_{ai}=k(x_{f}-x_{i})[/tex]-------------[2]

is equation 1 and 2 correct ? if no, then what is the correct solution

if yes

[tex]\Rightarrow\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}=\frac{dy}{dx}=(positive/negative)[/tex]

or more correctly

[tex]\Rightarrow\frac{\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}}{\left|\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}\right|}=\frac{\frac{dy}{dx}}{\left|\frac{dy}{dx}\right|}=\frac{k}{\left|k\right|}[/tex]

assumming

[tex]x_{f}>x_{i}[/tex]

but that's not always true for example its not true for this

[tex]y=2x-x^{2}[/tex]-------------------[4]

where

[tex]-1\leq x\leq1[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow\frac{dy}{dx}=2-2x=positive[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}=-2=negative[/tex]

so how to derive from integral equation (like [0]) to normal equation(like [4]) ?

This can be done using the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplace_transform" , which is really useful for solving differential equations. First you apply the direct transformation to [0], then solve for y and then apply the inverse laplace transform to find an equation like [4].

An example on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplace_transform#Example_.231:_Solving_a_differential_equation"

Its not a differential equation.
[tex]\frac{dk}{dx}=\frac{dk}{dy}=0[/tex]

thanks bigubau
[tex]y_{f}-y_{i}=y_{ai}(x_{f}-x_{i})+\frac{k}{2}(x_{f}^{2}-x_{i}^{2})[/tex] -------[1]

Your [1] doesn't really follow from [0]. There's also a linear term in "x" in the RHS.

could you explain how you got x ?
i still cannot see how equation [1] is wrong ?
