What is the derivative value at an inflection point?
the second derivative at an inflectiion point is zero
How can you know that a value is the minimum of a function?
When the first derivative of the function is equal to zero and the second derivative is positive.
What is the derivative of root sin2x?
You are supposed to use the chain rule for this. First step: derivative of root of sin2x is (1 / (2 root of sin 2x)) times the derivative of sin 2x. Second step: derivative of sin 2x is cos 2x times the derivative of 2x. Third step: derivative of 2x is 2. Finally, you need to multiply all the parts together.
What is the second derivative of 1xto the power 3?
(x3)'=3x2(x3)''=(3x2)'=6x
Why the second derivative negative for Maxima?
When you solve for the 2nd derivative, you are determining whether the function is concave up/down. If you calculated that the 2nd derivative is negative, the function is concave down, which means you have a relative/absolute maximum, given that the 1st derivative equals 0. To understand why this is, think about the definition of the 2nd derivative. It is a measure of the rate of change of the gradient. At a maximum, the gradient starts positive, becomes 0 at the maximum itself and then becomes negative, so it is decreasing. If the gradient is going down, then its rate of change, the 2nd derivative, must be negative.
Why was polynomial afriad of finding her second derivative?
She was afraid it would be constant. (Constance) She was afraid it would be a related function.
What is the usefulness of the second derivative in finding the absolute extrema of a function?
it tells you if it is a min or max
What is the geometrical meaning for second derivative?
The Geometrical meaning of the second derivative is the curvature of the function. If the function has zero second derivative it is straight or flat.
How do you find second derivative of a function?
All it means to take the second derivative is to take the derivative of a function twice. For example, say you start with the function y=x2+2x The first derivative would be 2x+2 But when you take the derivative the first derivative you get the second derivative which would be 2
What is the geometrical meaning of second derivative?
The first derivative is the rate of change, and the second derivative is the rate of change of the rate of change.
What is the second derivative of a function's indefinite integral?
well, the second derivative is the derivative of the first derivative. so, the 2nd derivative of a function's indefinite integral is the derivative of the derivative of the function's indefinite integral. the derivative of a function's indefinite integral is the function, so the 2nd derivative of a function's indefinite integral is the derivative of the function.
What is the derivative of x to the second powerr?
2x is the first derivative of x2.
What is the derivative of x to the second power?
2x is the first derivative of x2.
Does The second derivative represent the rate of change of the first derivative?
Yes.
How do you find the second derivative?
Afetr you take the first derivative you take it again Example y = x^2 dy/dx = 2x ( first derivative) d2y/dx2 = 2 ( second derivative)
What is the derivative value at an inflection point?
the second derivative at an inflectiion point is zero
If the 2nd derivative of an equation isn't constant is it still a quadratic relation?
No. A quadratic equation always has a second derivative that is a constant. For example -3x2 + 10x - 2 first derivative -6x + 10 second derivative -6
