Find Derivative of g(x): Find the first derivative of g(x). To find the first derivative of g(x)=−(x5), we use the power rule for derivatives. The function can be rewritten as g(x)=−5x−1. Differentiating −5x−1 with respect to x gives us g′(x)=5x−2.
Simplify First Derivative: Simplify the first derivative.The first derivative simplifies to g′(x)=x25.
Find Second Derivative: Find the second derivative of g(x).Now we need to differentiate g′(x)=x25 to find the second derivative. This can be rewritten as g′(x)=5x−2.Differentiating 5x−2 with respect to x gives us g′′(x)=−10x−3.
Simplify Second Derivative: Simplify the second derivative.The second derivative simplifies to g′′(x)=−x310.
