Given x=t3 and y=t2.
Since both x and y are in parametric form:
dxdy=dx/dtdy/dt
Finding the derivatives with respect to t:
dtdy=2t
dtdx=3t2
Therefore:
dxdy=3t22t
dxdy=3t2
For the second derivative in parametric form:
dx2d2y=dtd(dxdy)×dxdt
Rewriting dxdy=3t2=32⋅t−1
Differentiating with respect to t:
dtd(dxdy)=32×(−1)t−2
dtd(dxdy)=−3t22
Since dtdx=3t2:
dxdt=3t21
Combining the results:
dx2d2y=−3t22×3t21
dx2d2y=−9t42
