Differentiation problems (please solve with steps)
Dears,
Answer each of the following:
(1) If y=x+1/x prove that x²(d²y/dx²)+x(dy/dx)=y
(2) Find the second derivative of (2x+3)/(3x-1) with respect ro (x-1)/(x+1)
(3) If y²=8/(1+x²) prove that (x²+1)(d²y/dx²)+3x(dy/dx)+y=0
(4) If y=(√x)+1/√x and z=(√x)-1/√x prove that d²y/dx²=(2x(y+2))/(x+1)³
(5) If y=cosx-3sinx prove that y'''+y''+y'+y=0

Hi;
Please read this:

Please show a little bit of your work, or at least that you tried.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Interesting, I will try

I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested.

Hi Agnishom;
Let's do a simpler one so you can see the method.
Differentiate x^6 wrt x^2:
Say y = x^6, t =x^2
Now
Plugging in:
and that is the answer. There is an even simpler way involving a substitution.
