Find the 2nd Derivative y=-2

Problem

y=−2

Solution

1. Identify the function as a constant function, where y=−2

2. Find the first derivative by applying the constant rule, which states that the derivative of any constant is 0

d(y)/d(x)=0

3. Find the second derivative by differentiating the first derivative with respect to x

d2(y)/(d(x)2)=d(0)/d(x)

4. Apply the constant rule again to the result of the first derivative.

d2(y)/(d(x)2)=0

Final Answer

d2(y)/(d(x)2)=0
