Topic 3.6
3.6 Calculating Higher-Order Derivatives
Objectives in this topic
FUN-3.F—Determine higher order derivatives of a function
- FUN-3.F Determine higher order derivatives of a function.
- FUN-3.F.1 Differentiating f′ produces the second derivative f″, provided the derivative of f′ exists; repeating this process produces higher-order derivatives of f.
- FUN-3.F.2 Higher-order derivatives are represented with a variety of notations. For y = f(x), notations for the second derivative include d²y/dx², f″(x), and y″. Higher-order derivatives can be denoted dⁿy/dxⁿ or f⁽ⁿ⁾(x).
