x=2at^4 y=-2at^5 find d^2y/dx^2=?

OpenStudy (wasiqss):

take the derivative of both dy/dt and dx/dt 2 times then divide d^2y/dt^2 by d^2x/dt^2 u wud get answer i hope u noe how to take derivative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yah i know how to take derivative and thanx i will do it now

OpenStudy (wasiqss):

is a constant

OpenStudy (wasiqss):

n pleasure helpin :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanx

OpenStudy (jamesj):

Alternatively, notice that as x = 2at^4, it follows that \[ t = (x/2a)^{1/4} \] Now substitute that into y = -2at^5 and you have y as a function of x. It is then apparent that \( d^2y/dx^2 \) is not a constant.
