<h2>Higher-Order Derivatives of 4xy</h2>
22
<p>When a function is differentiated several times, the derivatives obtained are referred to as higher-order derivatives. For a simple product like 4xy, higher-order derivatives involve further differentiation with respect to x or y. To understand them better, consider how further differentiation affects each variable.</p>

<p>For the first derivative with respect to x, we write f′(x) = 4y, which indicates how the function changes with a change in x. For the second derivative with respect to x, f′′(x) = 0, indicating no further change with respect to x alone.</p>
