You need to show some work first. Do you know the chain rule?

Find the second derivate .(tricky question).


The "chain rule" can be summarized as [tex]\frac{{df}}{{dx}} = \frac{{df}}{{du}}\frac{{du}}{{dx}}[/tex]. Make the substitution [tex]u = \frac{2}{x}[/tex] and you can take derivatives of f(2/x). Remember, f(2/x) is any arbitrary function with 2/x as the argument so when you find your result, don't be surprised that you have arbitrary derivatives, that is terms including f'(2/x) and f''(2/x).

Penultimate: You have at least 5 or 6 of these threads. No attempts at anything in any of them. We do not do your work for you, regardless of "how much time you have or do not have ."

Don't be lazy and show some effort.

You are again missing the point. We do not solve HW at PF. If you read the forum rules, you would know that.

If you show some effort, we will guide you through the solutions.

Good luck on your exam. And when you are ready to learn how to solve these and not just have them solved for you, come on back.
