I.
Question 1.

Solution:
Let y = x2 + 3x + 2

Question 3.
Find the second order derivative of x . cos x
Solution:
Let y = x cos x
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) = x\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)cos x + c0s x \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)x [By Product Rule]
= -x sin x + cos x .
Again differentiating w.r.t. x, we have
\(\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dx}^2}\) = –\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)(x sin x) + \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)cos x
= -[x\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)sin x + sin x\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)(x)] – sin x
= -(x cos x + sin x) – sin x = -x cos x – sin x – sin x
= -x cos x – 2 sin x = -(x cos x + 2 sin x).
Question 4.
Find the second order derivative of log x
Solution:
Let y = log x
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}=\frac{1}{x}\)
Again differentiating w.r.t. x, we have
\(\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dx}^2}=\frac{d}{d x}\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\) = \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)x-1

Solution:
Let y = tan-1 x
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) = \(\frac{1}{1+x^2}\)
Again differentiating w.r.t. x, we have
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dx}^2}=\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\left(\frac{1}{1+\mathrm{x}^2}\right)\) = \(\frac{\left(1+x^2\right) \frac{d}{d x}(1)-1 \frac{d}{d x}\left(1+x^2\right)}{\left(1+x^2\right)^2}\)
= \(\frac{\left(1+x^2\right) 0-(2 x)}{\left(1+x^2\right)^2}\) = \(\frac{-2 x}{\left(1+x^2\right)^2}\)
II.
Question 1.
Find the second order derivative of x3 log x
Solution:
Let y = x3 log x
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) = x3\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) log x + log x \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) x3 [By Product Rule]
= x3\(\frac{1}{\mathrm{x}}\) + (log x)3x2 = x2 + 3x2 log x
Again differentiating w.r.t. x, we have
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dx}^2}\) = \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) x2 + 3\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) (x2 log x) = 2x + 3[x2 \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) log x + log x\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)x2]
= 2x + 3(x2 . \(\frac{1}{\mathrm{x}}\) + (log x)2x) = 2x + 3(x + 2x log x)
= 2x + 3x + 6x log x = 5x + 6x log x
= x(5 + 6 log x)

Question 2.
Find the second order derivative of ex sin 5x
Solution:
Let y = ex sin 5x
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) = ex\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)sin 5x + sin 5x\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)ex [By Product Rule]
= ex cos5x\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)5x + sin5xex = ex cos5 x5 + ex sin5x
= ex (5 cos 5x + sin 5x)
Again differentiating w.r.t. x using product rule, we have
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dx}^2}\) = ex \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)(5 cos 5x + sin 5x) + (5 cos 5x + sin 5x)\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)ex
= ex(5(-sin 5x)5 + (cos 5x)5) + (5 cos 5x + sin 5x)ex
= ex(-25 sin 5x + 5 cos 5x + 5 cos 5x + sin 5x)
= ex(10 cos 5x – 24 sin 5x)
= 2ex(5 cos 5x – 12 sin 5x).
Question 3.
Find the second order derivative of e6x cos 3x
Solution:
Let y = e6x cos 3x
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) = e6x\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)cos 3x + cos 3x\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)e6x [By Product Rule]
= e6x (-sin 3x)\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)(3x) + cos 3x . e6x\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)6x
= -e6x sin 3x . 3 + cos 3x e6x . 6
⇒ \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) = 6e6x cos 3x – 3e6x sin 3x …………… (1)
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dx}^2}\) = \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) (6e6x cos 3x – 3e6x sin 3x) = 6\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)(e6x cos 3x) – 3\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)(e6x sin 3x)
= 6[6e6x cos 3x – 3e6x sin 3x] – 3[sin 3x\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)(e6x) + e6x\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)(sin 3x)] [using (1)1
= 36e6x cos 3x – 18e6x sin 3x – 3[sin 3xe6x 6 + e6x cos 3×3]
= 36e6x cos 3x – 18e6x sin 3x – 18e6x sin 3x – 9e6x cos3x
= 27 e6x cos 3x – 36e6x sin 3x = 9e6x (3 cos 3x – 4 sin 3x)

Question 6.
If y = 5 cos x – 3 sin x, prove that \(\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dx}^2}\) + y = 0
Solution:
Given that y = 5 cos x – 3 sin x ……………. (i)
⇒ \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) = -5 sin x – 3 cos x
Again differentiating w.r.t. x,
\(\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dx}^2}\) = -y = -5 cos x + 3 sin x
= -(5 cos x – 3 sin x) = -y (By (i))
⇒ \(\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dx}^2}\) = -y
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dx}^2}\) + y = 0
Question 7.
If y = cos-1x. Find \(\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dx}^2}\) in terms of y alone.
Solution:
Given that y = cos-1x ⇒ x = cos y …………. (i)
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) = \(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}=\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-\cos ^2 y}}=\frac{-1}{\sqrt{\sin ^2 y}}=\frac{-1}{\sin y}\) = -cosec y [By (i)]
⇒ \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) = -cosec y …………. (ii)
Again differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we have
\(\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dx}^2}\) = –\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) (cosec y) = -[-cosec y cot y \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)]
= cosec y cot y(-cosec y) = -cosec2y cot y.

Question 8.
If y 3 cos (log x) + 4 sin (log x). show that x2y2 + xy1 + y = 0
Solution:
Given that y = 3cos(log x)+ 4sin(log x)
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) = (y1)= -3 sin(logx)\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)logx + 4cos(log x) \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) logx
⇒ y1 =- 3 sin(1ogx) \(\frac{1}{x}\) +4cos(logx). \(\frac{1}{x}\)
⇒ xy1 = -3 sin(log x) +4 cos(log x)
Again differentiating both sides wrt. x,
\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) (xy1) = -3 cos(log x)\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)log x – 4sin(log x)\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)log x
x\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)y1 + y1\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)x = – 3 cos(log x)\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) – 4 sin(log x)\(\frac{1}{\mathrm{dx}}\) [By Product Rule]
⇒ xy2 + y1 = –\(\frac{[3 \cos (\log x)+4 \sin (\log x)]}{x}\)
⇒ x(xy2 + y1) = -[3 cos(log x)+ 4 sin(log x)]
⇒ x2y2 + xy1 = -y ⇒ x2y2 + xy1 + y = 0
Question 9.
If y = Aemx + Benx, show that \(\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dx}^2}\) – (m + n) \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) + mny = 0
Solution:
Given that y =Aemx + Benx …………. (i)
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) = Aemx\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)(mx) + Benx\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)(nx) [∵ \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) ef(x) = ef(x) \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) f(x)]
⇒ \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) = Amemx + Bnenx …………. (ii)
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dx}^2}\) = Amemxm + Bnenx.n = Am2emx + Bn2enx ……………. (iii)
Putting values of y, \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) and \(\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dx}^2}\) from(i), (ii) and (iii) in
L.H.S. = \(\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dx}^2}\) – (m + n)\(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) + mny
= Am2emx + Bn2enx – (m + n)(Amemx +Bnenx) + mn(Aemx + Benx)
= Am2emx + Bn2enx – Am2emx – Bmnenx – Anmemx – Bn2enx + Amnemx + Bnmenx = 0
= R.H.S.

Question 10.
If y = 500e7x + 600e-7x, show that \(\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dx}^2}\) = 49y
Solution:
Given y = 500e7x + 600e-7x …………. (i)
⇒ \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) = 500e7x (7) + 600e-7x(-7) = 500(7)e7x – 600(7)e-7x
Now \(\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dx}^2}\) = 500(7)e7x (7) – 600(7)e-7x (7)
= 500(49)e7x + 600(49)e-7x
= 49[500e7x + 600e-7x] = 49 y ………………. [By (I)]
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dx}^2}\) = 49y.
Question 11.
If ey (x + 1) = 1, show that \(\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}=\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^2\)
Solution:
Given that ey (x + 1) = 1 ⇒ ey = \(\frac{1}{x+1}\)
Taking logs of both sides, log ey = log \(\frac{1}{x+1}\)
⇒ y loge = log 1 – log(x + 1)
⇒ y = -log(x + 1) [∵ log e = 1 and log 1 = 0]

Question 12.
If y = (tan-1x)2, show that (x2 + 1)2y2 + 2x (x2 + 1)y1 = 2
Solution:
Given that y = (tan-1x)2
⇒ y1 = 2(tan-1x)\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)tan-1x [∵ \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) (f(x))n = n(f(x))n-1\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)f(x)]
⇒ y1 = 2(tan-1x)\(\frac{1}{1+x^2}\)
⇒ y1 = \(\frac{2 \tan ^{-1} x}{1+x^2}\)
⇒ (1 + x2)y1 = 2 tan-1x
Again differentiating both sides w.r.t. x,
(1 + x2)\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)y1 + y1\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\)(1 + x2) = 2 . \(\frac{1}{1+x^2}\)
⇒ (1 + x2)y2 + y1 . 2x = \(\frac{2}{1+x^2}\)
⇒ (x2 + 1)2y2 + 2x(1 + x2)y1 = 2.
