Question : 15
Total: 29
If y = log |x + x2+a2| , show that (x2+a2)
d2y
dx2
+ x
dy
dx
= 0
Solution:  
y = log |x + x2+a2| ... (1)
Differentiating (1) w.r.t. x, we get
dy
dx
=
1+
x
x2+a2
x+x2+a2

dy
dx
=
1
x2+a2
... (2)
⇒ x
dy
dx
=
x
x2+a2
... (3)
Again, differentiating (2) w.r.t. x, we get
d2y
dx2
=
2x
(2x2+a2)
1
2
x2+a2

d2y
dx2
= -
x
(x2+a2)
3
2

x2+a2
d2y
dx2
= -
x
x2+a2
... (4)
Adding equation (3) and (4), we get
x2+a2
d2y
dx2
+ x
dy
dx
= -
x
x2+a2
+
x
x2+a2
= 0
x2+a2
d2y
dx2
+ x
dy
dx
= 0
