Successive Differentiation
  nᵗʰ Derivative of Function

Successive Differentiation

In general, the differentiation of a function can be differentiated succesively to obtain Higher Order Derivatives. Let function y=f(x) be a function of x. Then the result of differentiating y with respect to x is defined as the derivative or the first derivative of y with respect to x and is denoted as

Then the result of differentiating ƒ(x) with respect to x is defined the second differential derivative of y with respect to x and is denoted as

 IMAGE...

Similarly, the result of differentiating ƒ(x) with respect to x is defined the third differential derivative of y with respect to x and is denoted as

By continuing the differentiation process, the result of differentiating ƒ(x) n times with respect to x successively is defined the nth differential derivative of y with respect to x and is denoted as

The second, third, fourth, ..., nth derivatives are called higher order derivatives.
