MTH 102 Differentiation Objective Question

Question

If \( \frac{dW}{dt} = \frac{1}{25}(W - 300) \), find \( \frac{d^2W}{dt^2} \) in terms of \( W \).
Options
A \( \frac{1}{625}(W - 300) \)
Correct Answer
B \( \frac{1}{25} \)
C \( \frac{1}{625} \)
D \( \frac{1}{25}(W - 300)^2 \)
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

( \frac{d^2W}{dt^2} = \frac{d}{dt}[ \frac{1}{25}(W - 300) ] = \frac{1}{25} \frac{dW}{dt} = \frac{1}{25} \cdot [\frac{1}{25}(W - 300)] = \frac{1}{625}(W - 300) ).

Hint

Apply the chain rule to differentiate the first derivative with respect to time.
