Detail solution
  1. Let .

  2. Apply the power rule: goes to

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

    1. Let .

    2. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:

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

      1. Differentiate term by term:

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

          1. Apply the power rule: goes to

          So, the result is:

        2. The derivative of the constant is zero.

        The result is:

      The result of the chain rule is:

    The result of the chain rule is:

  4. Now simplify:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
-4*cos(2*x + 1)*sin(2*x + 1)
$$- 4 \sin{\left(2 x + 1 \right)} \cos{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}$$
The second derivative [src]
  /   2               2         \
8*\sin (1 + 2*x) - cos (1 + 2*x)/
$$8 \left(\sin^{2}{\left(2 x + 1 \right)} - \cos^{2}{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}\right)$$
The third derivative [src]
64*cos(1 + 2*x)*sin(1 + 2*x)
$$64 \sin{\left(2 x + 1 \right)} \cos{\left(2 x + 1 \right)}$$
