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 second derivative of x to the fourth power?
d/dx(X^4) = 4X^3 ( first derivative ) d/dx(4X^3) = 12X^2 ( second derivative )
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
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.
