Question
If x = at2, y = 2at, then find $\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}.$
✓
Answer
Given, x = at2 and y = 2at On differentiating both sides w.r.t.t, we get, $\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{dt}}=2\text{at and}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dt}}=2\text{a}$ Therefore, $\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{2\text{a}}{2\text{at}}=\frac{1}{\text{t}}$ Now, $\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\Big(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big)\times\frac{\text{dt}}{\text{dx}}$ $=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dt}}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{t}}\Big)\times\frac{1}{2\text{at}}=-\frac{1}{\text{t}^2}\times\frac{1}{\text{2at}}=-\frac{1}{\text{2at}^3}$
