If you differente \(y=2x^2+4\)

you get 4x so \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) of \(y=2x^2+4\)

is \(4x\) But if you do \(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\)

do you just square the orginial differentation? or do you square \(y=2x^2+4\) then differentiate? Please help!

d2y / dx2   is the notation for the second derivative .....many times this is written as ...  y "....it is the derivative of the first derivative

 

So

 

y "    of 4x   = 4

Misaki, I made a slight error in the explanation...I meant to say that :

 

y"   of    y = 2x^2 + 4   =    4
