Because the derivative of a function y = f ( x) is itself a function y′ = f′ ( x ), you can take the derivative of f′ ( x ), which is generally referred to as the second derivative of f (x) and written f“ ( x) or f 2 ( x ). This differentiation process can be continued to find the third, fourth, and successive derivatives of f ( x ), which are called higher order derivatives of f ( x ).
Higher-Order Derivatives - Math24
https://www.math24.net/higher-order-derivativesHigher-Order Derivatives of a Parametric Function Consider a function \(y = f\left( x \right)\) given parametrically by the equations \[ \left\{ \begin{aligned} x &= x\left( t \right) \\ y &= y\left( t \right) \end{aligned} \right.. The first derivative of this function is given by \[y' = {y'_x} = \frac{{{y'_t}}}{{{x'_t}}}.\]
