Math Problem Statement

find the next dertive

Solution

To find the next (third) derivative of yy with respect to xx, denoted as d3ydx3\frac{d^3y}{dx^3}, we need to take the derivative of d2ydx2\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} with respect to xx.

Recall that: d2ydx2=132t3\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = -\frac{1}{32t^3}

We need to use the chain rule again to differentiate d2ydx2\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} with respect to xx:

ddx(d2ydx2)=ddt(d2ydx2)dxdt\frac{d}{dx}\left( \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} \right) = \frac{\frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} \right)}{\frac{dx}{dt}}

First, compute ddt(d2ydx2)\frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} \right):

ddt(132t3)=ddt(132t3)=132ddt(t3)=132(3t4)=332t4\frac{d}{dt} \left( -\frac{1}{32t^3} \right) = -\frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{1}{32t^3} \right) = -\frac{1}{32} \cdot \frac{d}{dt} \left( t^{-3} \right) = -\frac{1}{32} \cdot (-3t^{-4}) = \frac{3}{32t^4}

Next, divide this by dxdt=2t\frac{dx}{dt} = 2t:

d3ydx3=ddt(d2ydx2)dxdt=332t42t=332t412t=364t5\frac{d^3y}{dx^3} = \frac{\frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} \right)}{\frac{dx}{dt}} = \frac{\frac{3}{32t^4}}{2t} = \frac{3}{32t^4} \cdot \frac{1}{2t} = \frac{3}{64t^5}

Now, evaluate at t=2t = 2:

d3ydx3t=2=364(2)5=36432=32048=32048\frac{d^3y}{dx^3} \Bigg|_{t=2} = \frac{3}{64(2)^5} = \frac{3}{64 \cdot 32} = \frac{3}{2048} = \frac{3}{2048}

Thus, the third derivative of yy with respect to xx at t=2t = 2 is:

d3ydx3=32048\frac{d^3y}{dx^3} = \frac{3}{2048}

Would you like further details or have any questions? Here are some questions you might consider:

  1. How do you find higher-order derivatives for parametric equations?
  2. Can you explain the process of using the chain rule repeatedly for higher-order derivatives?
  3. What are some applications of third derivatives in physics and engineering?
  4. How do the first, second, and third derivatives relate to the shape of a graph?
  5. Can you provide examples of other parametric equations and their higher-order derivatives?

Tip: When finding higher-order derivatives for parametric equations, carefully apply the chain rule step-by-step and simplify at each stage to avoid errors.
