Second Derivative of this function Calculate the higher derivative. f(x) = 5 x sin 5 x f′′(x) = I typed in a ton for answers for this problem and still no luck. Also could not figure out this problem

Use the product rule. f'(x)=first times derivative of the second + second times derivative of the first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would f(x)= 5x? or xsin(5x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, in your original post you state \[f(x)=5x \times \sin (5x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f \prime(x)=5x (\cos 5x)\times 5 + \sin5x \times 5\] Simplified is \[25x \cos5x+5\sin5x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok that for the f′′(x) = -125xsin(5x)+25cos(5x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*then*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, but don't for get the second part ... the 5sin5x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Should that be an addition to my answer or correcting a part?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In addition to. You found the second derivative of the 25xcos5x, but not the 5sin5x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so f(x)′′=−125xsin(5x)+25cos(5x)+5sin(5x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. The derivatve of 5sin(5x) is 5cos(5x)*5, so 25cos(5x).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f′′(x) = -125xsin(5x)+25cos(5x)+25cos(5x)

Oh wow thanks, to many numbers get me confused lol, did you know how to do any of the attach files by chance?
