Given ƒ(x) = 2x3 - 4x2 - 22x + 24
Determine the 2nd derivative ƒ''(x)

Start ƒ''(x)


Use the power rule

ƒ''(x) of axn = (a * n)x(n - 1)
For this term, a = 2, n = 3
and x is the variable we derive
ƒ''(x) = 2x3
ƒ''(x)( = 2 * 3)x(3 - 1)
ƒ''(x) = 6x2

Use the power rule

ƒ''(x) of axn = (a * n)x(n - 1)
For this term, a = -4, n = 2
and x is the variable we derive
ƒ''(x) = -4x2
ƒ''(x)( = -4 * 2)x(2 - 1)
ƒ''(x) = -8x

Use the power rule

ƒ''(x) of axn = (a * n)x(n - 1)
For this term, a = -22, n = 1
and x is the variable we derive
ƒ''(x) = -22x
ƒ''(x)( = -22 * 1)x(1 - 1)
ƒ''(x) = -22

Use the power rule

ƒ''(x) of axn = (a * n)x(n - 1)
For this term, a = 24, n = 0
and x is the variable we derive
ƒ''(x) = 24
ƒ''(x) = 0 <--- The derivative of a constant = 0. This is part of our answer.

Collecting all of our derivative terms

ƒ''(x) = 6x2 - 8x - 22
