Find f(n) for the function x^3 - 4x^2 + sqrt(x).

can that be solved? doesn't there need to be a value for n?

Yes, there has to be a value for n. Or you would have an unsolved equation, or you just couldn't simplify it down to see what n is equal to.

Errr, that should have said f(x)n-prime

Nonono, that's f single prime. You have to solve for n prime.

I am only a Sophomore, so I have just taken AP Algebra 1 and I am in Geometry now. Geometry is EASY! I got a 100% haha!

| What is n prime? |
Have you done higher order derivatives yet? You did f-prime there, but then you do f-double prime, f-triple prime, etc...
Anyways, n-prime is where you determine the pattern that the derivatives go in. For example, if you figure out n-prime, then I could say "what is the 114,128th derivative", and you only have to put 114128 in for n and you have the answer.

Ahh. We've done higher level derivatives, but not for 'n'.
