MTH 102 Differentiation Objective Question

Question

What is the second derivative of \( g(x) = \sin(2x^3 - 9x) \)?
Options
A \( 12x \cos(2x^3 - 9x) - (6x^2-9)^2 \sin(2x^3 - 9x) \)
Correct Answer
B \( (6x^2-9) \cos(2x^3 - 9x) \)
C \( 12x \cos(2x^3 - 9x) \)
D \( - (6x^2-9) \sin(2x^3 - 9x) \)
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

( g' = (6x^2 - 9)\cos(2x^3-9x) ). Using product and chain rules: ( g'' = (12x)\cos(2x^3-9x) + (6x^2-9)(-\sin(2x^3-9x) \cdot (6x^2-9)) ).

Hint

Use the chain rule for the first derivative and then the product rule for the second.
