The equation of a curve is $$\(y=k x^{\frac{1}{2}}-4 x^{2}+2\)$$, where $$\(k\)$$ is a constant. Find $$\(\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}\)$$ and $$\(\frac{\mathrm{d}^{2} y}{\mathrm{~d} x^{2}}\)$$ in terms of $$\(k\)$$. ........................................................................................................................................................ . ........................................................................................................................................................ . ........................................................................................................................................................ . ........................................................................................................................................................ . ........................................................................................................................................................ . ........................................................................................................................................................ .

Answer:



Knowledge points:

1.7.1 understand the gradient of a curve at a point as the limit of the gradients of a suitable sequence of chords, and use the notations for first and second derivatives (Only an informal understanding of the idea of a limit is expected.)
1.7.2 use the derivative of (for any rational ), together with constant multiples, sums and differences of functions, and of composite functions using the chain rule
