Lesson: Second- and Higher-Order Derivatives AP Calculus BC • AP Calculus AB

Students will be able to

• understand that the derivative of a function can itself be differentiated to form a higher-order derivative of the original function,
• understand and use the notation for higher-order derivatives, including prime notation and derivative notation,
• find the second-, third-, and higher-order derivatives for a function,
• find the value of the second-, third-, and higher-order derivatives of a function at a given point.
