Homework Statement


If x = cos(3t) and y = (sin(3t))² find dy/dx and d²y/dx².

Homework Equations


d/dx cosx = -sinx
d/dx sinx = cosx

The Attempt at a Solution


dx/dt = -3sin3t
dy/dt = 6sin3tcos3t

Not sure what to do now.
 
  • #2
(dy/dt)/(dx/dt)=dy/dx, right?
 
  • #3
Yes, thank you. After I posted I wondered whether you could do that or not (a little unfamiliar with Leibniz notation) but it makes sense now thank you.
