You can put this solution on YOUR website!
s(x) =x^(-1/2)+2 sin x
s'(x)=-1/2(x^(-3/2))+2cosx
s''(x)=(3/4)x^(-5/2)-2 sin x

If s(x) = 1%2Fsqrt%28x%29+%2B+2sinx, find s''(x).
-------
s(x) = x%5E%28-1%2F2%29+%2B+2sin%28x%29
s'(x) = %28-0.5%29%2Ax%5E-1.5+%2B+2cos%28x%29
s"(x) = %28-0.5%29%2A%28-1.5%29%2Ax%5E-2.5+-+2sin%28x%29
s"(x) = .75%2Ax%5E-2.5+-+2sin%28x%29
