If \(y = x \sin x\), Find \(\frac{d^2y}{d^2x}\)

Assessment: JAMB UTME - Mathematics - 2010 Subject: General Mathematics

Question 1 Report

If \(y = x \sin x\), Find \(\frac{d^2y}{d^2x}\)

Answer Details
To find the second derivative of the given function, we need to differentiate it twice with respect to x. First, we differentiate y with respect to x using the product rule: y = x sin x y' = x cos x + sin x Then, we differentiate y' with respect to x using the product rule again: y' = x cos x + sin x y'' = cos x - x sin x + cos x Simplifying the expression: y'' = 2cos x - x sin x Therefore, the second derivative of y = x sin x is y'' = 2cos x - x sin x.
