How to Find dy/dx and d²y/dx² for y = t?

To find the first and second derivatives of y with respect to x for the equation y = t, we need to express t in terms of x.

Since the problem does not provide a specific relationship between t and x, we will assume that t is a constant. Therefore, the value of y = t does not change when x changes.

1. **Finding dy/dx:**
Since y = t is a constant with respect to x, the derivative of a constant is always zero. Therefore, we get:

dy/dx = 0

2. **Finding d²y/dx²:**
The second derivative is simply the derivative of the first derivative. Since dy/dx = 0 is also a constant, its derivative will again be:

d²y/dx² = 0

In conclusion, for y = t, both the first and second derivatives with respect to x are zero:

  • dy/dx = 0
  • d²y/dx² = 0
