If y = 2/x then Y + 1d²y/2dx² =?
If y = 2/x then Y + 1d²y/2dx² =?
Explanation
Given y = 2/x
Let's find the first and second derivatives:
dy/dx = -2/x²
d²y/dx² = 4/x³
Now, let's evaluate y + 1/2 * d²y/dx²:
y + 1/2 * d²y/dx² = 2/x + 1/2 * 4/x³
= 2/x + 2/x³
= (2x² + 2)/x³
= 2(x² + 1)/x³
= 2(1 + x²)/x³
