I've tried to search this up but to no avail. How am I suppose to solve this:

d2y/dx3

Homework Equations


N/A

The Attempt at a Solution



Here's what I think I need to do:

1: Square and cube y and x respectively.
2: Find the second and third derivative of y and x respectively.

Thank you.

This looks like a typo, I think you need to ask your teacher what they want here or of course you could compute the ##d^2y/dx^2## and the ##d^3y/dx^3##

The superscripts aren't powers and these aren't fractions of differentials.

The notation means:
- 2nd derivative of y with respect to x for ##d^2y/dx^2## and
- 3rd derivative of y with respect to x for ##d^3y/dx^3##

Check to see if your book has an errata sheet online which would indicate whether its a typo that is if this came from your book otherwise check with your teacher.

Human error on my behalf. I mistype it. But yeah, thank you. I'm self-teaching (as scary enough as it is, ha ha) so no teacher besides myself

So basically it means to take the second (or nth) derivative? Thank you. .
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
