Question 31

Mathematics Differentiation Hard

With the usual notation&nbsp;<span class="math-tex">\(\dfrac{d^2x}{dy^2}\)</span>&nbsp;is

(A) <span class="math-tex">\(\left(\dfrac{d^2y^{-1}}{dx^2}\right)\)</span>
(B) <span class="math-tex">\(\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}\left(\dfrac{dy}{dx}\right)^2\)</span>
(C) <span class="math-tex">\(-\left(\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}\right)^{-1}\left(\dfrac{dy}{dx}\right)^{-3}\)</span>
(D) <span class="math-tex">\(-\left(\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}\right)\left(\dfrac{dy}{dx}\right)^{-3}\)</span>
โœ“ Correct Answer: Option D Verified Solution

๐Ÿ“˜ Step-by-Step Solution & Detailed Explanation:

\(\frac{dx}{dy} = \frac{1}{y'}\), where \(y' = \frac{dy}{dx}\).

\(\frac{d^2x}{dy^2} = \frac{d}{dy}\left(\frac{1}{y'}\right) = \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{1}{y'}\right) \cdot \frac{dx}{dy} = -\frac{y''}{(y')^2} \cdot \frac{1}{y'} = -\frac{y''}{(y')^3}\)

So \(\frac{d^2x}{dy^2} = -\left(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\right)\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^{-3}\).

Answer: (D)
