The answer is:

The first derivative [src]
  x   
------
 2    
x  + a
$$\frac{x}{a + x^{2}}$$
The second derivative [src]
        2 
     2*x  
1 - ------
         2
    a + x 
----------
       2  
  a + x   
$$\frac{- \frac{2 x^{2}}{a + x^{2}} + 1}{a + x^{2}}$$
The third derivative [src]

-----------------
            2    
    /     2\     
    \a + x /     
$$\frac{2 x \left(\frac{4 x^{2}}{a + x^{2}} - 3\right)}{\left(a + x^{2}\right)^{2}}$$
