If $x=at^2$, y = 2at, then $\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}$ is : |
$-\frac{1}{t^2}$ $\frac{1}{2at^2}$ $-\frac{1}{t^3}$ $-\frac{1}{2at^3}$ |
$-\frac{1}{2at^3}$ |
$x=at^2 \Rightarrow \frac{d x}{d t}=2 a t$ $y=2at \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d t}=2 a$ ∴ $\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{2 a}{2 a t}=\frac{1}{t} \Rightarrow \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}=\frac{d}{d x}\left(\frac{1}{t}\right)=-\frac{1}{t^2} \frac{d t}{d x}$ $=\left(-\frac{1}{t^2}\right)\left(\frac{1}{2 a t}\right)$ [By (1)] $=-\frac{1}{2 a t^3}$ Hence (4) is correct answer. |
