Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1-2 x^2}{x|x|\left(x^2-1\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{|x|\sqrt{x^2-1}} = (|x|(x^2-1)^{1/2})^{-1} \) \( \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = -1 \cdot (|x|(x^2-1)^{1/2})^{-2} \cdot \left( \frac{d}{dx}(|x|)\sqrt{x^2-1} + |x|\frac{d}{dx}((x^2-1)^{1/2}) \right) \)…
