Basic Calculus: Engr. Oscar H. Halamani, JR

This document discusses higher order derivatives and provides examples of taking derivatives of various functions up to the 5th order derivative. It explains that higher order derivatives are obtained by continuing to differentiate the derivative functions. Several examples are worked out step-by-step to demonstrate how to take higher order derivatives of polynomial, trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions. An assignment is given asking the reader to determine higher order derivatives of additional functions.

Differential Calculus

 Higher Order Derivatives


Higher Order Derivatives
Consider the function given by
y = f(x) = x5 - 3x4 + x
Its derivative f’(x) is given by
y’ = f’(x) = 5x4 - 12x3 + 1
The derivative function f’ can also be differentiated
We use the notation f” for the derivative (f’)’
That is: y” = f”(x) = [f’(x)]’ = d f’(x) = d2y
dx dx2
Higher Order Derivatives
We call f” as the second derivative of f
For: y = f(x) = x5 - 3x4 + x
y’ = f’(x) = 5x4 - 12x3 + 1
y” = f”(x) = 20x3 - 36x2
Continuing this manner we have
y’” = f’”(x) = 60x2 - 72x
y”” = f””(x) = 120x - 72
y’”” = f’””(x) = 120
y””” = f”””(x) = 0
