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 is .

    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*log(2*x - 1)
--------------
   2*x - 1    
$$\frac{4 \log{\left(2 x - 1 \right)}}{2 x - 1}$$
The second derivative [src]
8*(1 - log(-1 + 2*x))
---------------------
               2     
     (-1 + 2*x)      
$$\frac{8 \cdot \left(1 - \log{\left(2 x - 1 \right)}\right)}{\left(2 x - 1\right)^{2}}$$
The third derivative [src]
16*(-3 + 2*log(-1 + 2*x))
-------------------------
                 3       
       (-1 + 2*x)        
$$\frac{16 \cdot \left(2 \log{\left(2 x - 1 \right)} - 3\right)}{\left(2 x - 1\right)^{3}}$$
