Question
If $\text{y}=\text{e}^{-\text{x}}\cos\text{x},$ show that $\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=2\text{e}^{-\text{x}}\sin\text{x}.$

Answer

Here,
$\text{y}=\text{e}^{-\text{x}}\cos\text{x},$
differentiating w.r.t.x, we get
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=-\text{e}^{-\text{x}}\cos\text{x}$
$=-\text{e}-\text{x}\sin\text{x}+\text{e}-\text{x}\cos\text{x}$
differentiating w.r.t.x, we get
$\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=-\text{e}^{-\text{x}}\cos\text{x}-\text{e}^{-\text{x}}\sin\text{x}-\text{e}^{\text{-x}}\cos\text{x}$
$=2\text{e}^{-\text{x}}\sin\text{x}$
