A
3eπ/2
Answer
9eπ/2
Explanation
Solution
Given logey=3sin−1x, we can write y=e3sin−1x.
Differentiating with respect to x: y1y′=3⋅1−x21 1−x2y′=3y (1)
Differentiating equation (1) with respect to x: 1−x2−xy′+1−x2y′′=3y′
Multiply by 1−x2: −xy′+(1−x2)y′′=3(1−x2)1−x2y′1−x2 (1−x2)y′′−xy′=31−x2y′
Substitute 1−x2y′=3y from equation (1): (1−x2)y′′−xy′=3(3y)=9y
Now, evaluate at x=21: At x=21, sin−1x=sin−121=6π. So, y=e3sin−1x=e3(6π)=e2π.
Therefore, (1−x2)y′′−xy′ at x=21 is 9y=9e2π.
