Derivatives are usually taken with respect to time. The first derivative would have units of volume / time, i.e., a flow - for example - "so-and-so many cubic meters per second flow down our river".
The second derivate would refer to a change in the flow - when the flow of a liquid or gas increases or decreases with time.

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 was poly nomial afraid of finding her second derivative?
she thought she would get points of infliction!
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.
A derivative is to the rate of change as an integral is to?
A derivative is to the rate of change asan integral is to area/volume.
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
How do you get the second derivative of potential energy?
The same way you get the second derivative from any function. Assuming you have a function that expresses potential energy as a function of time, or perhaps as a function of position, you take the derivate of this function. This will give you another function. Then, you take the derivate of this derivative, to get the second derivative.
