AP Calc question...

<p>is it possible to find the derivative and second derivative of a function, if you are ONLY given a CHART with values in it?</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>I have the Princeton review one, and cannot find it in there. I’m not going to go and buy all of those books to look up one type of problem. thanks though!</p>

<p>can you give me an example?</p>

<p>I’m sorry I don’t have a specific example…
it would be something like</p>

<p>the values of f(x) are found in the table:</p>

<p>x 1 4 6 3 9
y 2 5 0 3 2</p>

<p>find f’(x)
find f’'(x)</p>

<p>my teacher said that we need to know how to do it for a text tomororw and I have no idea…</p>

<p>if it’s like this, wouldn’t the question ask for a specific range or number to find the derivative?</p>

<p>For example, number 5a on <a href=“Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board”>Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board;

<p>yes! thank you so much, Jerry! :)</p>

<p>But I still don’t know how you would find the double derivative. I guess you have to be given the values of f’(x) to find f"(x). Still apply the same method you would to find f’(x) as you would for 5a.</p>

<p>btw, you’re welcome.</p>
