Question:
if sin^-1x/under root 1-x^2 show that 1-x^2 d^2/dx^2 - 3x dy/dx - y = 0
Answer:

Let y = sin-1 x/√(1 - x2 )

=> y√(1 - x2 ) = sin-1 x

Differentiate w.r.t. x, we get

       d{y√(1 - x2 )}/dx = d(sin-1 x)/dx

=> √(1 - x2 )*(dy/dx) + y * d{√(1 - x2 )}/dx = 1/√(1 - x2 )

=> √(1 - x2 )*(dy/dx) + y * (-2x)/{2*√(1 - x2 )} = 1/√(1 - x2 )

=> [√(1 - x2 )*(dy/dx) - xy/{*√(1 - x2 )}]*√(1 - x2 ) = 1

=> (1 - x2 )*(dy/dx) - xy = 1

Again differentiate w.r.t. x, we get,

      d{(1 - x2 )*(dy/dx) - xy}/dx = d1/dx

=> (1 - x2 )*(d2 y/dx2 ) - 2x*(dy/dx) - x*(dy/dx) - y = 0

=> (1 - x2 )*(d2 y/dx2 ) - 3x*(dy/dx) - y = 0

Hence proved.
