Solution and Explanation

It is given that,\(y=5cosx-3sinx\)
Then,
\(\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}(5cosx)-\frac{d}{dx}(3sinx)=5\frac{d}{dx}(cosx)-3\frac{d}{dx}(sinx)\)
\(=5(-sinx)-3cosx=-(5sinx+3cosx)\)
\(∴\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=\frac{d}{dx}[-(5sinx+3cosx)]\)
\(=-[5.\frac{d}{dx}(sinx)+3.\frac{d}{dx}(cosx)]\)
\(=-[5cosx+3(-sinx)]\)
\(=-[5cosx-3sinx]\)
\(=-y\)
\(∴\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}+y=0\)
Hence, proved.

Second-Order Derivative

The Second-Order Derivative is the derivative of the first-order derivative of the stated (given) function. For instance, acceleration is the second-order derivative of the distance covered with regard to time and tells us the rate of change of velocity. 

As well as the first-order derivative tells us about the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the given function, the second-order derivative explains the shape of the graph and its concavity. 

The second-order derivative is shown using \(f’’(x)\text{ or }\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\).
