Hi Pedal, 

To find the second derivative, f'', you must first find f' and then
find it's derivative to get f'':

f'(x) = 3*20x² + 2*(7/2)x + 2
      = 60x² + 7x + 2

f''(x) = 2(60x) + 7
       = 120x + 7

For f''(7) just sub in 7 for x to get:
f''(7) = 120(7) + 7
       = 847

That's all there is to it.

Hope this helped you out, 

Hibiscus
