The solution

You have entered [src]
-a*x*sin(x)
$$- a x \sin{\left(x \right)}$$
((-a)*x)*sin(x)
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. The derivative of sine is cosine:

    The result is:

  2. Now simplify:


The answer is:

The first derivative [src]
-a*sin(x) - a*x*cos(x)
$$- a x \cos{\left(x \right)} - a \sin{\left(x \right)}$$
The second derivative [src]
a*(-2*cos(x) + x*sin(x))
$$a \left(x \sin{\left(x \right)} - 2 \cos{\left(x \right)}\right)$$
The third derivative [src]
a*(3*sin(x) + x*cos(x))
$$a \left(x \cos{\left(x \right)} + 3 \sin{\left(x \right)}\right)$$
