(4*x)*(1 - x)^2
Detail solution
  1. Apply the product rule:

    ; to find :

    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:

    ; to find :

    1. Let .

    2. Apply the power rule: goes to

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

      1. Differentiate term by term:

        1. The derivative of the constant is zero.

        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:

        The result is:

      The result of the chain rule is:

    The result is:

  2. Now simplify:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
         2                 
4*(1 - x)  + 4*x*(-2 + 2*x)
$$4 x \left(2 x - 2\right) + 4 \left(1 - x\right)^{2}$$
The second derivative [src]
8*(-2 + 3*x)
$$8 \left(3 x - 2\right)$$
The third derivative [src]
24
$$24$$
