Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

A double prime is a symbol used to distinguish a third quantity x^('') ("x double prime") from two other related quantities x and x^' ("x prime). Double primes are most commonly used to denote transformed coordinates, conjugate points, and derivatives. A double prime is also used to denote the number of arc seconds in an angle measure, or the number of inches in a length.
