Practicing Success
If $\sqrt{x+y}+\sqrt{y-x}=c$ then $\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}$ is : |
$\frac{2}{c}$ $\frac{-2}{c^2}$ $\frac{2}{c^2}$ None of these |
$\frac{2}{c^2}$ |
We are given $\sqrt{x+y}+\sqrt{y-x}=c$ . . . (1) Also $(\sqrt{x+y})^2-(\sqrt{y-x})^2=x+y-(y-x)$ $\Rightarrow(\sqrt{x+y}+\sqrt{y-x})(\sqrt{x+y}-\sqrt{y-x})=2 x$ $\Rightarrow \sqrt{x+y}-\sqrt{y-x}=\frac{2 x}{c}$ [By (1)] . . . (2) (1) + (2) gives $2 \sqrt{x+y}=c+\frac{2 x}{c}$ Squaring $4(x+y)=c^2+\frac{4 x^2}{c^2}+4 x$ Canceling 4x, $4 y=c^2+\frac{4 x^2}{c^2}$ $\Rightarrow 4 \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{8 x}{c^2} \Rightarrow \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}=\frac{2}{c^2}$ Hence (3) is correct answer. |
