If f(x) = x^2 - 3x + 2, find f'(x) and f''(x)

f'(x) is the first derivative of f(x) therefore f'(x) = 2x - 3

To find f''(x) simply take the derivative of f'(x), therefore f''(x) = 2

I don't understand why the function "f(x)=x^2 for all real values of x" has no inverse. Isn't sqrt(x) the inverse?


Solve x^2 - 6x - 2=0 giving your answer in simplified surd form.
