In this paper, we begin by examining a general functional on <i>n</i>-dimensional hypersurfaces, which depends on the 1-mean curvature and the 2-mean curvature. We compute its first variation formula, obtaining the Euler-Lagrange equation that characterizes critical points. As a consequence, we also obtain the Euler-Lagrange equation for hypersurfaces immersed in Einstein manifolds as well as in manifolds with constant sectional curvature. In the case where the ambient space is a manifold with constant sectional curvature, we also compute the second variation, obtaining a stability criterion for these points in terms of geometric invariants that depend solely on the first and second fundamental forms. These results generalize those obtained in [7]. To demonstrate the applicability of the results, we studied the functional given by the <span>(L^2)</span>-norm of the traceless second fundamental form.
