A linear function, for example y(x) = ax + b has the first derivative a.
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.
zero
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.
f(x) = c, where c is constant, has a derivative of 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.
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.
A line. The derivative of a function is its slope. If the slope is a constant then the graph is 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.
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.
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.
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.
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
It means that the first derivative is a constant. The derivative may be with regard to time or any other variable.
The "double prime", or second derivative of y = 5x, equals zero. The first derivative is 5, a constant. Since the derivative of any constant is zero, the derivative of 5 is zero.
