The second derivative of the composition between two functions is described by the following expression:
[tex]\frac{d^{2}}{dx^{2}} (f\,\circ\,g\,(x)) = \frac{d^{2}f}{dg^{2}}\cdot \frac{dg}{dx} + \frac{df}{dg} \cdot \frac{d^{2}g}{dx^{2}}[/tex]
Mathematically speaking, a composition between two functions is defined by the following operation:
[tex]f\,\circ\,g\,(x) =f(g(x))[/tex] (1)
By Chain Rule we get the first and second derivatives of the composition:
First derivative
[tex]\frac{d}{dx} (f\,\circ\,g\,(x)) = \frac{df}{dg}\cdot \frac{dg}{dx}[/tex] (2)
Second derivative
[tex]\frac{d^{2}}{dx^{2}} (f\,\circ\,g\,(x)) = \frac{d^{2}f}{dg^{2}}\cdot \frac{dg}{dx} + \frac{df}{dg} \cdot \frac{d^{2}g}{dx^{2}}[/tex] (3)
The second derivative of the composition between two functions is described by the following expression:
[tex]\frac{d^{2}}{dx^{2}} (f\,\circ\,g\,(x)) = \frac{d^{2}f}{dg^{2}}\cdot \frac{dg}{dx} + \frac{df}{dg} \cdot \frac{d^{2}g}{dx^{2}}[/tex]
