Detail solution
  1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

    1. Let .

    2. Apply the power rule: goes to

    3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :

      1. Apply the power rule: goes to

      The result of the chain rule is:

    So, the result is:


The answer is:

The first derivative [src]
 -2*a 
------
   5/3
3*x   
$$- \frac{2 a}{3 x^{\frac{5}{3}}}$$
The second derivative [src]
 10*a 
------
   8/3
9*x   
$$\frac{10 a}{9 x^{\frac{8}{3}}}$$
The third derivative [src]
 -80*a  
--------
    11/3
27*x    
$$- \frac{80 a}{27 x^{\frac{11}{3}}}$$
