I. OBJECTIVES:
At the end of one- hour session, at least 75% of the students should be able to:
Compute higher-order derivatives of functions; and
Relate the concept of higher-order derivatives to real-life situations.
Motivation:
The teacher will group the students into 6 groups. Instructions will
then be given to the students.
B. Modeling: “I DO”
Fact:
If p(x) is a polynomial of degree n (i.e. the largest exponent in the polynomial)
then,
( k)
p ( x ) =0 for k ≥ n+1
We will need to be careful with the “non-prime” notation for derivatives. Consider each of
the following.
'
f (2) (x )=( f ' ( x ) )
(2) 2
f (x )=[f ( x ) ]
The presence of parenthesis in the exponent denotes differentiation while the absence of
parenthesis denotes exponentiation.
Collectively the second, third, fourth, etc. derivatives are called higher order derivatives.
