Question
Find the second derivative of each of the given functions.$$y=2 x^{7}-x^{6}-3 x$$
Step 1
The derivative of a function is found by applying the power rule, which states that the derivative of $x^n$ is $nx^{n-1}$. So, the first derivative of the function is: $$\frac{dy}{dx}=14x^{6}-6x^{5}-3$$ Show more…
