Now solve for .

2 − 10 = −12 − 1

2 = −3

SECOND DERIVATIVES

Sometimes, you’ll be asked to find a second derivative implicitly.

Example 6: Find if y^2 + 2 y = 4x^2 + 2x.

Differentiating implicitly, you get

2    y  +   2   =   8x  +   2

Remember:   When    it  is  required    to  take    a   second  derivative, the

first   derivative  should  be  simplified  first.

Next, simplify and solve for .

Now, it’s time to take the derivative again.
