Notation for the second derivative |
2012-02-06 |
|
From Shafira:
In all math textbooks, it is written that d/dx ( d/dx) (y)= d2y/dx2. Why do they write it as d2y/dx2, not as d2y/d2x2?

Graphing y=(4-x^2)^5 |
2009-10-25 |
|
From natalie:
I want to graph the curve of y=(4-x^2)^5 without using a graphing calculator. To do this, I'm suppose to find: domain, y and x intercepts, asymptotes, intervals of increase/decrease, local max/min, concavity and points of inflection. I got all the way to the step where I'm solving the concavity and I'm stuck. I found the f"(x) and it came out to be really large polynomial. I want to know how I can solve for the x of f"(x) without the use of a graphing calculator, when the polynomial has x^6 and x^8.
Thank you so much,
natalie

From Kristina:
If h(x)=f(g(x)), and is differentiable, then find h"(x).

Determine y'' by implicitly differentiating twice |
2009-01-04 |
|
From Walter:
Given x^3 - 3xy + y^3 = 1 , determine y'' by implicitly differentiating
twice. I cannot solve this. Would you be kind enough to perform the
mathematics and show the steps involved in obtaining the solution?

From Mussawar:
my question is d/dx( dy/dx) = d2y/dx2. why it is not equal to d2y/d2x.

Concavity |

From Alex:
the question is: on what interval is f(x)=(x2)(ex)? ive found the 2nd derivative which is ex(x2+4x+2) and i did the quadratic to get -2-20.5 and -2+20.5, but i dont know what the interval is.
