Math Problem Statement

Find the second derivative (y'') for the following functions: 1. y = (x + 3)^2 (2x - 3)^3 2. y = (x + 5)^2 / (2x - 7)^3 3. y = (3x - 5) / (4x + 3) 4. y = sqrt(4x + 3)

Solution

The image shows several mathematical problems, each asking to find the second derivative (yy'') of different functions. I will solve a few of these problems step-by-step to demonstrate the process.

Problem 6: y=(x+3)2(2x3)3y = (x + 3)^2 (2x - 3)^3

  1. Find the first derivative yy' using the product rule: [ y' = \frac{d}{dx}[(x + 3)^2] \cdot (2x - 3)^3 + (x + 3)^2 \cdot \frac{d}{dx}[(2x - 3)^3] ]

    • Derivative of (x+3)2(x + 3)^2 is 2(x+3)2(x + 3).
    • Derivative of (2x3)3(2x - 3)^3 is 3(2x3)22=6(2x3)23(2x - 3)^2 \cdot 2 = 6(2x - 3)^2.

    So, the first derivative becomes: y=2(x+3)(2x3)3+(x+3)26(2x3)2y' = 2(x + 3)(2x - 3)^3 + (x + 3)^2 \cdot 6(2x - 3)^2

  2. Find the second derivative yy'' by differentiating yy'.

Problem 7: y=3x54x+3y = \frac{3x - 5}{4x + 3}

  1. Find the first derivative yy' using the quotient rule: y=(4x+3)(3)(3x5)(4)(4x+3)2y' = \frac{(4x + 3)(3) - (3x - 5)(4)}{(4x + 3)^2} Simplify: y=12x+912x+20(4x+3)2=29(4x+3)2y' = \frac{12x + 9 - 12x + 20}{(4x + 3)^2} = \frac{29}{(4x + 3)^2}

  2. Find the second derivative yy'' by differentiating yy'.

Problem 8: y=4x+3y = \sqrt{4x + 3}

  1. Rewrite the function as y=(4x+3)1/2y = (4x + 3)^{1/2}.

  2. Find the first derivative yy': y=12(4x+3)1/24=24x+3y' = \frac{1}{2}(4x + 3)^{-1/2} \cdot 4 = \frac{2}{\sqrt{4x + 3}}

  3. Find the second derivative yy'' by differentiating yy'.
