TopicParametric equations

The curve \(C\) has parametric equations $$x = t ^ { 2 } , \quad y = ( 2 - t ) ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } } , \quad \text { for } 0 \leqslant t \leqslant 2 .$$ Find
  1. \(\frac { \mathrm { d } ^ { 2 } y } { \mathrm {~d} x ^ { 2 } }\) in terms of \(t\),
  2. the mean value of \(y\) with respect to \(x\) over the interval \(0 \leqslant x \leqslant 4\),
  3. the \(y\)-coordinate of the centroid of the region enclosed by \(C\), the \(x\)-axis and the \(y\)-axis.
