If $x=2 \cos t-\cos 2 t, y=2 \sin t-\sin 2 t$, find $\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}$ at $t=\frac{\pi}{2}$
Formula:
(i) $\frac{d y}{d x}=y_{1}$ and $\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}=y_{2}$
(ii) $\frac{d}{d x} \cos x=\sin x$
(iii) $\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}} \sin \mathrm{x}=-\cos \mathrm{x}$
(iv) $\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}} \mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{n}}=\mathrm{nx}^{\mathrm{n}-1}$
(v) chain rule $\frac{\mathrm{df}}{\mathrm{dx}}=\frac{\mathrm{d}(\mathrm{wou})}{\mathrm{dt}} \cdot \frac{\mathrm{dt}}{\mathrm{dx}}=\frac{\mathrm{dw}}{\mathrm{ds}} \cdot \frac{\mathrm{ds}}{\mathrm{dt}} \cdot \frac{\mathrm{dt}}{\mathrm{dx}}$
(vi) parameteric forms $\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{\frac{d y}{d t}}{\frac{d x}{d t}}$
Given: -
$x=2 \cos t-\cos 2 t$
$y=2 \sin t-\sin 2 t$
differentiating w.r.t t
$\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}=2(-\sin \mathrm{t})-2(-\sin 2 \mathrm{t})$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d t}=2 \cos t-2 \cos 2 t$
Dividing both
$\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{2(\cos t-\cos 2 t)}{2(\sin 2 t-\sin t)}$
Differentiating w.r.t t
$\Rightarrow \frac{d \frac{d y}{d x}}{d t}=\frac{(\sin 2 t-\sin t)(-\sin t+2 \sin 2 t)-(\cos t-\cos 2 t)(2 \cos 2 t-\cos t)}{(\sin 2 t-\sin t)^{2}}$
Dividing
$\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}=\frac{(\sin 2 t-\sin t)(2 \sin t-\sin t)-(\cos t-\cos 2 t)(2 \cos 2 t-\cos t)}{2(\sin 2 t-\sin t)^{3}}$
Putting $t=\frac{\pi}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{d}^{2} \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dx}^{2}}=\frac{1+2}{-2}=-\frac{3}{2}$
