Well.. this is the formula to get the derivative of the modulus -

d|f(x)|/dx = [ |f(x)|/f(x) ] * f'(x)

It's either 1 or -1 when x is not equal to zero; at that point |x| is non-differentiable.

What is the derivative of 3cosx?

The derivative of 3cos(x) is -3sin(x). This can be found using the chain rule, which states that the derivative of a composition of functions is the derivative of the outer function evaluated at the inner function, multiplied by the derivative of the inner function. In this case, the derivative of cos(x) is -sin(x), and when multiplied by the constant 3, we get -3sin(x) as the derivative of 3cos(x).

What is the second derivitive of sec x?

Write sec x as a function of sines and cosines (in this case, sec x = 1 / cos x). Then use the division formula to take the first derivative. Take the derivative of the first derivative to get the second derivative. Reminder: the derivative of sin x is cos x; the derivative of cos x is - sin x.


What does the derivative graph mean?

I am assuming the you are talking about the graph of the derivative. The graph of the derivative of F(x) is the graph such that, for any x, the value of x on the graph of the derivative of F(x) is the slope at point x in F(x).
