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
Take the derivative of the function.
(cosx)^2-(sinx)^2
find the derivative of 3 -- 6 x + 10 x + 1000= 2 --18 x + 10 3&2 above xes are powers
Derivative of lnx= (1/x)*(derivative of x) example: Find derivative of ln2x d(ln2x)/dx = (1/2x)*d(2x)/dx = (1/2x)*2===>1/x When the problem is like ln2x^2 or ln-square root of x...., the answer won't come out in form of 1/x.
Taking the derivative: 2lnx+2, 2(lnx+1). Extrema occur at y'=0. 2(lnx+1)=0,lnx=-1 x=e^(-1)=1/e y=-2/e So the extrema occurs at (1/e,-2/e)
You will find several formulae in the Wikipedia article on "derivative".
The derivative at any point in a curve is equal to the slope of the line tangent to the curve at that point. Doing it in terms of the actual expression of the curve, find the derivative of the curve, then plug the x-value of the point into the derivative to find the derivative at that point.
Find the derivative of Y and then divide that by the derivative of A
The purpose of finding a derivative is to find the instantaneous rate of change. In addition, taking the derivative is used in integration by parts.
The derivative of x^n is nx^(n-1) any n. The derivative of x^4 is 4x^3.
The derivative of sin(x) is cos(x).
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
Find the 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)
2 x 2 = 4. 4 is a constant. The derivative of a constant is always 0. Therefore, The derivative of 2 x 2 is zero.
Take the derivative of the function.
