The derivative of sec x is equal to sec x tan x. The derivative of the first derivative can be determined using the rule of products. The derivative is equal to sec x sec^2 x + tan x * sec x tan x. The simplified answer is sec^3 x + sec^2 x tan x equal to sec^2 x ( sec x + tanx )

Answer: f"(x)=\sec x\tan^2 x+\sec^3 x

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function : f(x)=\sec x

First we find the first derivative of the function, so differentiate both sides , with respect to x, we get

f'(x)=\sec x\tan x

Now, to find the second derivative, we differentiate again it with respect to x, we get

f"(x)=(\sec x)'\tan x+\sec x(\tan x)'\\\\\Rightarrow\ f"(x)=(\sec x\tan x)\tan x+\sec x(sec^2x)\\\\\Rightarrow\ f"(x)=\sec x\tan^2 x+\sec^3 x

Hence, the  second derivative of f(x)=\sec x is f"(x)=\sec x\tan^2 x+\sec^3 x

Solve eight and two fourths minus three and one third
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

5 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewriting our equation with parts separated

=8+2/4−3−1/3

Solving the whole number parts

8−3=5

Solving the fraction parts

2/4−1/3=?

Find the LCD of 2/4 and 1/3 and rewrite to solve with the equivalent fractions.

LCD = 12

6/12−4/12=2/12

Reducing the fraction part, 2/12,

2/12=1/6

Combining the whole and fraction parts

5+1/6=5 1/6

Micah walks on a treadmill at 4 miles per hour. He has walked 2 miles
lana66690 [7]
<span>Let time taken by Luke to cover the distance = x hours Speed of Luke = 6 miles per hour Therefore, Distance covered by Luke = 6x ------(1) Speed of Micah = 4 miles per hour Since Micah walked 2 miles before Luke started running, Luke started 1/2 an hour after Micah started. Therefore time taken by Micah to cover the distance = x+1/2 Distance covered by Micah = 4(x + 1/2) -------(2) Equating (1) and (2) 6x = 4(x+1/2) 6x = 4x +2 2x = 2 x= 1 Therefore Luke would take 1 hour to cover the distance covered by Micah.</span>
