Detail solution
  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 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:

    3. The derivative of the constant is zero.

    The result is:

  2. Now simplify:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
 2      
x  + 4*x
$$x^{2} + 4 x$$
The second derivative [src]
2*(2 + x)
$$2 \left(x + 2\right)$$
The third derivative [src]
2
$$2$$
