HW Review: p.156 #
Higher Derivatives You can compute higher derivatives by continually taking derivatives of your answer Second derivative:
Ex 1 Calculate f’’’(-1) for
Ex 2 Calculate the first four derivatives of
Ex 3 If you use product rule for the first derivative, you will need it for any higher derivatives Ex: Find the first three derivatives of
Acceleration Since velocity is the first derivative of position, acceleration is the 2nd derivative Ex: A ball’s position can be modeled by the function Find the velocity and acceleration functions for the ball
Graph of the second derivative The graph of the second derivative describes how fast/slow the slope is changing Large second derivative = slope changes quickly
