Answer

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1-3t^{2}}{2t}$ and $\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}=\frac{-1-3t^{2}}{4t^{3}}$

Work Step by Step

Given: $x=1+t^{2}$ and $y=t-t^{3}$ $\frac{dx}{dt}=2t$ $\frac{dy}{dt}=1-3t^{2}$ $\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{{dy}/{dt}}{{dx}/{dt}}=\frac{1-3t^{2}}{2t}$ $\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}=\frac{\frac{d}{dt}({dy}/{dx})}{dx/dt}$ $=\frac{\frac{d}{dt}(\frac{1-3t^{2}}{2t})}{2t}$ $=\frac{-\frac{1}{2}t^{-2}-\frac{3}{2}}{2t}\times \frac{2t^{2}}{2t^{2}}$ $=\frac{-1-3t^{2}}{4t^{3}}$ Hence, $\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1-3t^{2}}{2t}$ and $\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}=\frac{-1-3t^{2}}{4t^{3}}$
