Find the 2nd Derivative sin(x)
sin(x)sin(x)
Step 1
The derivative of sin(x)sin(x) with respect to xx is cos(x)cos(x).
f(x)=cos(x)
Step 2
The derivative of cos(x) with respect to x is -sin(x).
f(x)=-sin(x)
Step 3
Find the third derivative.

Step 3.1
Since -1 is constant with respect to x, the derivative of -sin(x) with respect to x is -ddx[sin(x)].
-ddx[sin(x)]
Step 3.2
The derivative of sin(x) with respect to x is cos(x).
f(x)=-cos(x)
f(x)=-cos(x)
Step 4
