Section 3.12 : Higher Order Derivatives

For problems 1 – 5 determine the fourth derivative of the given function.

1. \(h\left( t \right) = 3{t^7} - 6{t^4} + 8{t^3} - 12t + 18\) Solution
2. \(V\left( x \right) = {x^3} - {x^2} + x - 1\) Solution
3. \(\displaystyle f\left( x \right) = 4\,\sqrt[5]{{{x^3}}} - \frac{1}{{8{x^2}}} - \sqrt x \) Solution
4. \(\displaystyle f\left( w \right) = 7\sin \left( \frac{w}{3} \right) + \cos \left( {1 - 2w} \right)\) Solution
