The second derivative at the point (2,2) is 34/9
Explanation:
2x⁴ = 4y³
2x⁴ - 4y³ = 0
We first need to find dy/dx and then d²y/dx²
On differentiating the equation in terms of x
dy/dx = d(2x⁴ - 4y³) / dx
We get,
dy/dx = 2x³/3y²
On differentiating dy/dx we get,
d²y/dx² = 2x²/y² + 8x⁶/9y⁵
[tex]\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{2 X 2^2}{2^2} + \frac{8 X 2^6}{9 X 2^5}\\ \\\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 2 + \frac{16}{9}\\ \\[/tex]
d²y/dx² = 34/9
Therefore, the second derivative at the point (2,2) is 34/9
