If $\mathrm{y}=\cos ^{2}\left(\frac{5 x}{2}\right)-\sin ^{2}\left(\frac{5 x}{2}\right)$, then $\left(\frac{\mathrm{d}^{2} \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{d} x^{2}}\right)=$
  1. $-5 \sqrt{1-y^{2}}$
  2. $5 \sqrt{1-y^{2}}$
  3. $25 y$
  4. $-25 y$

Solution

Given $\begin{aligned} y &=\cos ^{2}\left(\frac{5 x}{2}\right)-\sin ^{2}\left(\frac{5 x}{2}\right) \\ y &=\cos \left(2 \times \frac{5 x}{2}\right) \Rightarrow y=\cos 5 x \\ \therefore \frac{d y}{d x} &=-5 \sin 5 x \Rightarrow \frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}} \\ &=-25 \cos 5 x=-25 y \end{aligned}$
