Let y = x 2 2 x
Now differentiating using division rule,
y ′ = x 4 x 2 ∗ 2 x l n ( 2 ) − 2 x ∗ 2 x
You can express this as
y ′ = y l n ( 2 ) − x 2 y
Again differentiating,
y ′ ′ = y ′ l n ( 2 ) − x 2 x ( 2 y ′ ) − 2 y
Therefore,
y ′ ′ = y ′ l n ( 2 ) − x 2 y ′ + x 2 2 y
Now, putting x=2;
y ( 2 ) = 1
y ′ ( 2 ) = l n ( 2 ) − 1
y ′ ′ ( 2 ) = l n ( 2 ) ( l n ( 2 ) − 1 ) − 2 2 ( l n ( 2 ) − 1 ) + 2 1
= ( l n 2 ) 2 − 2 l n ( 2 ) + 2 3
= 0 . 5 9 4 2 ...approx
Therefore, 1 0 0 y ′ ′ ( 2 ) = 5 9 . 4 2
Since answer has to be an integer, 1 0 0 y ′ ′ ( 2 ) = 5 9
I don't know how you are getting 1 0 0 y ′ ′ ( 2 ) = 5 9 . 4 2 . I am getting the same expression as you but the calculator evaluates it to 9 8 . 8 5 .

You are supposed to take natural log (to the base 'e').

I also make the same mistake with Nishant Sharma, but when you say that we have to take the ln , I was just like "Oh no! Why am I so stupid?" Thanks for your explanation...:)
Applying the quotient rule, {f^'}({x})=\frac{{x^2}\times{2^x}{ln2}-{2^x}\times{2x}}{x^4} {f^''}({x})=\frac{{x^4}\times(({2x}\times{2^x}({ln2})^2+{2^x}({ln2})\times{2x})-({2^x}\times{2}+{2x}\times{2^x}{ln2}))-({x^2}{2^x}{ln2}-{2^x}{2x})\times{4x^3}}{x^8} Therefore {100}{f^''}{(2)}=\boxed{59}
Note 1 0 0 f ′ ′ ( 2 ) = 5 9 , but ⌊ 1 0 0 f ′ ′ ( 2 ) ⌋ = 5 9 .

Typing \left \lfloor 100 \pi \right \rfloor = 314 will lead you to ⌊ 1 0 0 π ⌋ = 3 1 4
I use this LaTeX baby to type things better.
f(x) = 2 x / x 2
Thus, f'(x)= d / d x ( 2 x / x 2 )
Use the product rule, d / d x ( u ∗ v ) = v ( d u ) / ( d x ) + u ( d v ) / ( d x ) , where u = 2 x and v = 1 / x 2 :
f'(x)= ( d / d x ( 2 x ) ) / x 2 + 2 x ( d / d x ( 1 / x 2 ) )
The derivative of 2 x is 2 x l o g ( 2 ) :
f'(x)= 2 x ( d / d x ( 1 / x 2 ) ) + 2 x l o g ( 2 ) / x 2
Use the power rule, d / d x ( x n ) = n x ( n − 1 ) , where n = -2:-------> d / d x ( 1 / x 2 ) = d / d x ( x ( − 2 ) ) = − 2 x ( − 3 ) :
f ' (x) = ( 2 x l o g ( 2 ) ) / x 2 + ( − 2 ) / x 3 2 x
Differentiating it again
f "(x) = d / d x ( ( 2 x ( x l o g ( 2 ) − 2 ) ) / x 3 ) = ( 2 x ( x 2 l o g 2 ( 2 ) − 4 x l o g ( 2 ) + 6 ) ) / x 4
Therefore, f" (2) = 3 / 2 + l o g 2 ( 2 ) − l o g ( 4 ) that's approximately 0.594.
Hence 100*f"(2) = 59.4
Use \frac{\pi}{e} or \dfrac{\pi}{e} for generating better fractions: e π
It is much better than 3 / 2 .
is there not any other method to solve this.. this is bit too long and tedious
taking ln for both sides ln(y) = ln (2)^x - ln (x)^2
ln(y) =x ln (2) - 2 ln (x)
y'/y= ln (2) - 2/x
y' = y ( ln(2)- 2/x )
y'' = y' ( ln(2) - 2/x) + 2y/x^2
y'' = y [ (ln (2) - 2/x)^2 + 2/x^2 ]
when x = 2 ... y=1
so y'' = [ ln(2)- 1 ] ^2 + 0.5
100y'' = 100*0.5941
so 100y'' = 59.41

Remember the rules , soldiers. I will not post them here.
Back to the problem, f ( x ) = x 2 2 x . This means
f ′ ( x ) = x 4 ln 2 ⋅ 2 x ⋅ x 2 − 2 x ⋅ 2 x ⇒ f ′ ( x ) = x 3 2 x ( x ln 2 − 2 ) .
Applying another derivative, we get
f ′ ( x ) = x 3 2 x ( x ln 2 − 2 ) ⇒ f ′ ′ ( x ) = x 6 ( ln 2 ⋅ 2 x ( x ln 2 − 2 ) ) x 3 − ( 2 x ( x ln 2 − 2 ) ) 3 x 2 .
⇒ f ′ ′ ( x ) = x 4 2 x ( x 2 ln 2 4 − 4 x ln 2 + 6 ) ⇒ f ′ ′ ( 2 ) = 2 ( 2 ln 2 4 − 4 ln 2 + 3 ) .
Considering ln 2 ≈ 0 . 6 9 , we get that f ′ ′ ( 2 ) ≈ 0 . 5 9 6 . Thus, the biggest integer that is smaller than 5 9 . 6 is 5 9 .
