This is really too vague. There are tables for derivatives of common functions. There are rules for taking derivatives of polynomials. The derivative of f(x) is found by taking the limit of (f(x + ?x) - f(x))/?x, as ?x approaches zero.

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.
