Question

Find `("d"^2"y")/"dx"^2`, if y = `"x"^-7`

Sum

Solution

y = `"x"^-7`

Differentiating both sides w.r.t.x, we get

`"dy"/"dx" = -7"x"^-8`

Again, differentiating both sides w.r.t. x , we get

`("d"^2"y")/"dx"^2 = -7 * "d"/"dx" ("x"^-8)`

`= - 7(-8)"x"^-9`

∴ `("d"^2"y")/"dx"^2 = 56"x"^-9`
