Question

3. If dy = x^2y^2 , then what is d2y/dx2

Answer 1

$\text{Given that,}\\\\\dfrac{dy}{dx} = x^2 y^2\\\\ \implies \dfrac{d^2 y}{dx^2} = x^2\cdot 2y \dfrac{dy}{dx}+ y^2 \cdot 2x\\\\\implies \dfrac{d^2 y}{dx^2} = x^2 \cdot 2y \cdot x^2 y^2 +2xy^2\\\\\implies \dfrac{d^2 y}{dx^2} =2x^4y^3 + 2xy^2 = 2xy^2(x^3y+1)$
