If the first derivative if a function is a constant that the original function has only one slope across its entire domain, so it is a line.
The indefinite integral is the anti-derivative - so the question is, "What function has this given function as a derivative". And if you add a constant to a function, the derivative of the function doesn't change. Thus, for example, if the derivative is y' = 2x, the original function might be y = x squared. However, any function of the form y = x squared + c (for any constant c) also has the SAME derivative (2x in this case). Therefore, to completely specify all possible solutions, this constant should be added.
A linear function, for example y(x) = ax + b has the first derivative a.
f(x) = c, where c is constant, has a derivative of zero.
If the second derivative of a function is zero, then the function has a constant slope, and that function is linear. Therefore, any point that belongs to that function lies on a line.

0 A derivative is the rate of change of a function as another variable changes. As there is no change to a constant, the derivative is necessarily 0.
A linear function, for example y(x) = ax + b has the first derivative a.
derivative of a constant is 0, because the function of a constant is a line with no change in slope, so d2011/dx=0
f(x) = c, where c is constant, has a derivative of zero.
If the second derivative of a function is zero, then the function has a constant slope, and that function is linear. Therefore, any point that belongs to that function lies on a line.
A line. The derivative of a function is its slope. If the slope is a constant then the graph is a line.
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).
The only non-exponential function that has this property would be a function that has the constant value of zero.
The rate of change of any function is its derivative. The equation of a horizontal line is simply a constant, for example y=10. The derivative of any constant is ZERO.
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.
