Higher Derivatives Given that f is differentiable, if is also differentiable then its derivative is denoted by . The two notations are: function 1st derivative 2nd derivative …… nth derivative f
Example: If , write down is first second and third derivatives and hence make a conjecture about its nth derivative. Conjecture: The nth derivative is
Rectilinear Motion If displacement from the origin is a function of time I.e. then v - velocity a - acceleration
Example: A body is moving in a straight line, so that after t seconds its displacement x metres from a fixed point O, is given by (a) Find the initial dislacement, velocity and acceleration of the body. (b) Find the time at which the body is instantaneously at rest.
