Detail solution
  1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

    1. Let .

    2. Apply the power rule: goes to

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

      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 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:

    So, the result is:

  2. Now simplify:


The answer is:

The first derivative [src]
     6      
------------
         3/2
(3*x - 2)   
$$\frac{6}{\left(3 x - 2\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$$
The second derivative [src]
     -27     
-------------
          5/2
(-2 + 3*x)   
$$- \frac{27}{\left(3 x - 2\right)^{\frac{5}{2}}}$$
The third derivative [src]
      405      
---------------
            7/2
2*(-2 + 3*x)   
$$\frac{405}{2 \left(3 x - 2\right)^{\frac{7}{2}}}$$
