Assuming you mean what is the value of the derivative d/dx(a²x), then:
d/dx(a²x) = a²
The derivative (with respect to x) of d/dx(a²x) = d/dx(d/dx(a²x)) = d/dx(a²) = 0.

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
the derivative of tangent dy/dx [ tan(u) ]= [sec^(2)u]u' this means that the derivative of tangent of u is secant squared u times the derivative of u.
The derivative of negative cosine is positive sine.
Yes, the derivative of an equation is the slope of a line tangent to the graph.
The derivative with respect to 'x' of sin(pi x) ispi cos(pi x)
