please check my answer!

OpenStudy (el_arrow):

okay so x = t + 6 and y = t^2+10t

OpenStudy (el_arrow):

first derivative is dy/dx = 2t+10/1

OpenStudy (el_arrow):

second derivative d^2y/dx^2 = 2/1

OpenStudy (el_arrow):

please check my answers

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

What do you want to do?

OpenStudy (el_arrow):

i just want you to check my answer

OpenStudy (el_arrow):

@perl could you come check my answer real quick

OpenStudy (perl):

$$ \Large{ x = t + 6\\ y = t^2+10t \\ \frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{\frac{dy}{dt}}{\frac{dx}{dt}}= \frac{2t+10}{1} =2t+10\\ \\ \therefore \\ ~~~~~\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\\ = \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)\\ = \frac{d}{dx} \left( 2t+10 \right)\\= \frac{d}{dt} \left( 2t+10 \right)\cdot \frac{dt}{dx}\\ =\frac{\frac{d}{dt} \left( 2t+10 \right)}{\frac{dx}{dt}}\\ = \frac{2}{1}= 2 } $$

OpenStudy (perl):

note that I used the chain rule $$ \Large{ \frac{df}{dx}= \frac{df}{dt} \cdot \frac{dt}{dx} } $$

OpenStudy (perl):

because $$ \Large{ \frac{df}{dt} \cdot \frac{dt}{dx} =\frac{df}{{\cancel {dt}}} \cdot \frac{\cancel {dt}}{dx}=\frac{df}{dx} } $$
