Given {eq}f(x)=3\sec(4x) {/eq}, find {eq}f''(x) {/eq}
Question:
Given {eq}f(x)=3\sec(4x) {/eq}, find {eq}f''(x) {/eq}
Second Order Derivatives:
To calculate the second order derivative of the function {eq}f(x) {/eq}, we must differentiate it twice.
Suppose its first derivative is denoted by {eq}f'(x) {/eq}.
Then the second derivative {eq}f''(x) {/eq} will be equivalent to:
{eq}f''(x) = \displaystyle D_x f'(x) {/eq}
