HELP ASAP
What is the question?
What does ASAP mean?
As soon as possible. @SolomonZelman
I meant to emphasize, or to allude to the delay.
Which question do you want, #1, #2, or both?
yes, #1 is right.
yes, you are right!
-24!?
@SolomonZelman
I don't know yet, but I will do this problem in a few eye blinks right now, give me some time please.
We want the coefficient of the \(x^2\) term in the \(f''(x)\), and we know that if \(x^2\) is in the second derivative, then we are looking for the function's \(x^4\) term.
Which term is this going to be? \(x^3\times (-8x)+(3x^2)\times (-6x^2)\)
\(=(-8-18)x^4=-26x^4\)
So your result is sadly, but obviously already incorrect, because the magnitude of your coefficient for \(x^2\) in \(f''(x)\) is smaller than the current coefficient of the \(x^4\) term. Right?
having found the \(x^4\) term in \(f(x)\) to be \(-26x^4\), what is the coefficient of \(x^2\) in the second derivative?
\(\color{black}{\displaystyle D^2[-26x^4]=? }\)
(What is the second derivative of -26x^4 ?)
omg i already worked it out am i right or not?????> @SolomonZelman
I just told you were not right.
-26 is the current coefficient of \(x^4\) term in the \(f(x)\).
So, if the coefficient of \(x^4\) in \(f(x)\) is \(-26\), then the coefficient of \(x^2\) in \(f''(x)\) is? (All you got to do, is to differentiate twice)
Do you know how to take a derivative?
What is the (first) derivative of \(-26x^4\) ?
yes
and what is the (first) derivative of -104x^3 ?
(Note: The first derivative of -104x^3, is the same thing as the second derivative of -26x^2.)
Yes.
So the desired coefficient is ?
x^2
???? @SolomonZelman why did u leave
Something happened, and I had to refresh.
yes, -312 is correct.
Yes, I am sure. yw
Yes, for #3.
Yes, for #4.
ah yes thank you so much!! can ia sk you some more calculus questions later on?????
Anybody can definitely ASK me anything ... whether I answers depends on 3 criteria: time, willingness, and knowledge.
I don't want to give any empty promises, will see how it goes. YW
