Detail solution
  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 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. Apply the power rule: goes to

            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:

    The result is:

  2. Now simplify:


The answer is:

The first derivative [src]
     5*(6 - 2*x)
-3 - -----------
              4 
       (x - 3)  
$$- \frac{5 \left(6 - 2 x\right)}{\left(x - 3\right)^{4}} - 3$$
The second derivative [src]
   -30   
---------
        4
(-3 + x) 
$$- \frac{30}{\left(x - 3\right)^{4}}$$
The third derivative [src]
   120   
---------
        5
(-3 + x) 
$$\frac{120}{\left(x - 3\right)^{5}}$$
