Higher Order Derivatives | Footnote, Essence of Calculus

In this higher order derivatives activity, students find the first, second, or third derivative in eighteen problems.  Students also evaluate derivatives for given values.

Your algebra learners emphasize the"geometric" in geometric series as they use a common ratio between algebraic terms and find that it corresponds to a repeated similarity transformation. 

Fall for a series. Learners determine how to find out how far a skydiver falls in the first 20 seconds. The Algebra II lesson introduces the idea of adding up the terms of an arithmetic sequence. Pupils learn how to use Sigma notation to...

Derivatives are so fun that sometimes one wants to take the derivative multiple times. The sixth of seven installments in Unit 3 - Differentiation focuses on finding higher-order derivatives. After learning about the notation, scholars...

Sal defines the term derivative by taking the listener on a well-organized tour of the slope. First, he reviews the concept of the slope of a line from algebra, then extends this idea to look at the slope of the curve by first examining...

What are the most important things about trigonometric derivatives? The 13th video in a series of 31 highlights three important aspects of trigonometric derivatives, the first being the derivatives of sine and cosine. The second is the...

Trig provides assistance in finding the derivatives of hyperbolic functions. The presentation provides an example of finding the derivative involving hyperbolic functions. Using the chain rule, the video finds the derivative of a...

Accelerate your class through finding the second derivative. Using a bank of equations, pupils determine the equations for distance, velocity, and acceleration and their associated function notations. With the equations, learners answer...

Learn how to solve problems by taking the derivative. Then, through examination of higher order derivatives using the CAS computer program, students create a visual of what is happening with the equation.
