MCQ
If $x = a{t^2},y = 2at$, then ${{{d^2}y} \over {d{x^2}}} = $
  • A
    $ - {1 \over {{t^2}}}$
  • B
    ${1 \over {2a{t^3}}}$
  • C
    $ - {1 \over {{t^3}}}$
  • $ - {1 \over {2a{t^3}}}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$ - {1 \over {2a{t^3}}}$
d
(d) $\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \frac{{dy/dt}}{{dx/dt}} = \frac{{2a}}{{2at}}$ 

==> $\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \frac{1}{t} = \frac{{2a}}{y}$

==> $y\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = 2a$

==> $y\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}} + {\left( {\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}} \right)^2} = 0$

$ \Rightarrow \frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}} = \frac{{ - {{(dy/dx)}^2}}}{y} = - \frac{1}{{2a{t^3}}}$.
