If x=2t2x = 2t^2 and y=3t3y = 3t^3, then the value of d2ydx2\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} at t=3t = 3 is :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

dxdt=4t\frac{dx}{dt}=4t and dydt=9t2\frac{dy}{dt}=9t^2, so dydx=9t4\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{9t}{4}. Then d2ydx2=ddt(9t4)÷dxdt=9/44t=916t\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=\frac{d}{dt}\left(\frac{9t}{4}\right)\div\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{9/4}{4t}=\frac{9}{16t}. At t=3t=3 this is 316\frac{3}{16}.
