Question

When a question asks for you to solve for f'(x) and f"(x) what does that mean specifically? does it mean differential equations? or is it inverse? I'm so confused please help!

Answer 1

f(x) = function of x

f'(x) = derivative of f(x) with respect to x

This may be referred to as "f prime of x"

It is found simply by differentiating f(x) with respect to x

f''(x) = 2nd order derivative of f(x) with respect to x

This found by differentiating f'(x) with respect to x

`{f}^( - 1) (x) \: = \: inverse \: function`

Answer 2

no that means derivatives f'(x) is the first derivative and f"(x) is the secondary derivative

Derivatives are part of calculus....
