If $x=t^3, y=t^4$ then $\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}$ at $t=2$ is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
$x=t^3$ $y=t^4$
$\frac{d x}{d t}=3 t^2$ $\frac{d y}{d t}=4 t^3$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y / d t}{d x / d t}=\frac{4 t^3}{3 t^2}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{4 t}{3}$
so $\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}=\frac{4}{3} \frac{d t}{d x}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}=\frac{4}{3 \times 3 t^2}=\frac{4}{9 t^2}$
so at t = 2
$\Rightarrow \frac{4}{9 \times(2)^2}$
$=\frac{1}{9}$
