Question

Find `("d"^2"y")/"dx"^2`, if y = `"x"^5`

Sum
Advertisements

Solution

y = `"x"^5`

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

`"dy"/"dx" = 5"x"^4`

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

`("d"^2"y")/"dx"^2 = 5 * "d"/"dx" ("x"^4)`

`= 5(4"x"^3)`

∴ `("d"^2"y")/"dx"^2 = 20"x"^3`
