Using Table to create a list of derivatives?

Posted 10 years ago

How would one use the Table command to create a list of derivatives ? For example, f[x_] := Sqrt[3 + x]/2 ?

Documentation Center or Documentation Center 2

f[x_] := Sqrt[3 + x]/2;

A first derivative:

{D[f[x], x], D[f[x], {x, 1}], f'[x], Derivative[1][f][x]}

A second derivative:

{D[f[x], x, x], D[f[x], {x, 2}], f''[x], Derivative[2][f][x]}

and Yours table 5 of derivatives:

Table[D[f[x], {x, n}], {n, 1, 5}]

enter image description here

Or:

Table[Derivative[n][f][x], {n, 1, 5}]

Just to acknowledge there are a variety of opinions as to how to help with homework problems.

My suggestion is to first figure out how to do it without the Table command.
