cannot find symbol method

I'm relatively new to Java, since I've been programming since March. I have to do a task for a course I磎 taking on the university, but I can't find the source of an error that appears when I try to compile.

My code is the following, for class Polinomio1:

import java.io.*;

class Polinomio1 extends Polinomio{

public Polinomio1(double[]x){

super(x);

}//POLINOMIO

public Polinomio1(int x){

super (x);

}//POLINOMIO

public Polinomio1 derivada(int n){

int j=0;

while(j<=n){

for(int i=0;i<a.length;++i){

if((i+1)><a.length){

a=a[++i]*(i+1);

a[++i]=0;

}//if

else a=0;

}//for

++j;

}//while

return new Polinomio1(a);

}//Derivada

Then, I try to use the method derivada in class Tarea=3 as follows:

import java.io.*; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*;

class Tarea03 extends Frame implements ActionListener{

... // Part of the code which is non-relevant for this situation

if(x.getSource()==deriv){

for(int i=0;i<N;++i){

coef2=Double.parseDouble(coef.getText());

}//for

p=new Polinomio(coef2);

int nd=Integer.parseInt(derivt.getText());//nd n鷐ero derivada

pd=p.derivada(nd);

double aa=Double.parseDouble(at.getText());//aa valor num閞ico de a

double bb=Double.parseDouble(bt.getText());//bb valor num閞ico de b

int nn=Integer.parseInt(nt.getText());//nn valor num閞ico de n puntos

Graphics G=cv.getGraphics();

pd.graficar(G,nn,aa,bb);

}//if bot髇 derivar

I would appreciate if anyone could help me.>
