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. 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:

    So, the result is:

  2. Now simplify:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
    9     
----------
         2
(3*x + 7) 
$$\frac{9}{\left(3 x + 7\right)^{2}}$$
The second derivative [src]
   -54    
----------
         3
(7 + 3*x) 
$$- \frac{54}{\left(3 x + 7\right)^{3}}$$
The third derivative [src]
   486    
----------
         4
(7 + 3*x) 
$$\frac{486}{\left(3 x + 7\right)^{4}}$$
