Q. If $y = 1 - x + \frac{x^{2}}{2!} - \frac{x^{3}}{3!} + \frac{x^{4}}{4!} - \ldots,then\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}\$is equal to

A) $- x$
B) $x$
C) $y$
D) $- y$
Explanation

(c)
Given, $y = 1 - x + \frac{x^{2}}{2!} - \frac{x^{3}}{3!}\ldots$
$\Rightarrow \ \ y\ = \ e^{- x}\ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \frac{dy}{dx} = - e^{- x}$
$\therefore\ \frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}} = e^{- x} = y$
