- Derivative[ <Function> ]
- Returns the derivative of the function.
- Derivative[ <Function>, <Number n> ]
- Returns the nth derivative of the function.
- Derivative[ <Curve> ]
- Returns the derivative of the curve.
- Note: It only works for parametric curves.
- Derivative[ <Curve>, <Number n> ]
- Returns the nth derivative of the curve.
- Note: It only works for parametric curves.
Note: You can use
f'(x)
instead of Derivative[f]
, or f''(x)
instead of Derivative[f, 2]
, and so on.CAS Syntax
In CAS View only following syntax is supported:
- Derivative[ <Expression f> ]
- Returns derivative of f with respect to x.
- Example:
Derivative[x^2]
yields 2 x.
- Example:
Derivative[a x^3]
yields 3 a x2.
- Derivative[ <Expression f>, <Variable a> ]
- Returns derivative of f with respect to a.
- Example:
Derivative[a x^3, a]
yields x3.
- Derivative[ <Expression f>, <Variable a>, <Number n> ]
- Returns the nth derivative of f with respect to a.
- Example:
Derivative[a x^3, x, 2]
yields 6 a x.
