Differentiate the parametric function and find dy/dx and d 2 y / d x 2
Differentiate the parametric function and find d y d x and d 2 y d x 2 in terms of "t" when:
x = 1 t 1 and y = 1 t + 1
I have first started by finding d y d x by finding d x d t and d y d t which comes to
d x d t = ln | t 1 |
and d y d t = ln | t + 1 |
and used d y d x = d y / d t d x / d t , which gives
d y d x = ln | t + 1 | ln | t 1 | now if I divide them by each other doesn't it equal to 0? What have I done wrong here?

Step 1
Given x = 1 t 1 .
So d x d t = 1 ( t 1 ) and
y = 1 t + 1
So d x d t = 1 ( t + 1 )
Now 1 y 1 x = 2 , ,
Now Diff. both side w. r to x
1 y 2 d y d x + 1 x 2 = 0 d y d x = y 2 x 2
Now Again Diff. w. r to x, We get
d 2 y d x 2 = d d x [ y 2 x 2 ] = x 2 2 y d y d x y 2 2 x x 4 = 2 y 3 2 x y 2 x 4
Step 2
Above we have put value f d y d x = y 2 x 2 . So we get
d 2 y d x 2 = 2 y 3 2 x y 2 x 4

Step 1
Given x = 1 t 1 and y = 1 t + 1 the differentiation of x n is n x n 1
here x = 1 t 1 = ( t 1 ) 1
Step 2
So d x d t = d ( t 1 ) 1 d t
= d ( t 1 ) 1 d ( t 1 ) . d ( t 1 ) d t = ( 1 ) ( t 1 ) 1 1 . ( 1 ) = ( t 1 ) 2 = 1 ( t 1 ) 2
Similarly you can do with Y and then for d x 2 and d y 2
