Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2024

If $\log _e y=3 \sin ^{-1} x$, then $(1-x^2) y^{\prime \prime}-x y^{\prime}$ at $x=\frac{1}{2}$ is equal to

  1. A $9 e^{\pi / 2}$ Correct answer
  2. B $9 e^{\pi / 6}$
  3. C $3 e^{\pi / 2}$
  4. D $3 e^{\pi / 6}$

Solution

<p>$$\begin{aligned} &\log _e y=3 \sin ^{-1} x\\ &\begin{aligned} & y=e^{3 \sin ^{-1} x} \\ & \frac{d y}{d x}=e^{3 \sin ^{-1} x} \cdot \frac{3}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \end{aligned} \end{aligned}$$</p> <p>$\sqrt{1-x^2} \frac{d y}{d x}=3 y$</p> <p>Again differentiate</p> <p>$$\begin{aligned} & \sqrt{1-x^2} \cdot y^{\prime \prime}-\frac{2 x}{2 \sqrt{1-x^2}} y^{\prime}=3 y^{\prime} \\ & (1-x)^2 y^{\prime \prime}-x y^{\prime}=3 y^{\prime}\left(\sqrt{1-x^2}\right) \end{aligned}$$</p> <p>So value of $3 y^{\prime}\left(\sqrt{1-x^2}\right)$ at $x=\frac{1}{2}$</p> <p>$$\begin{aligned} & 3 \cdot \frac{3}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} e^{\sin ^{-1} x}\left(\sqrt{1-x^2}\right) \\ & =9 e^{3 \frac{\pi}{6}}=9 e^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \end{aligned}$$</p>
