    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:

  4. Now simplify:


The answer is:

The first derivative [src]
         -2          
---------------------
            _________
(4*x + 1)*\/ 4*x + 1 
$$- \frac{2}{\sqrt{4 x + 1} \left(4 x + 1\right)}$$
The second derivative [src]
     12     
------------
         5/2
(1 + 4*x)   
$$\frac{12}{\left(4 x + 1\right)^{\frac{5}{2}}}$$
The third derivative [src]
   -120     
------------
         7/2
(1 + 4*x)   
$$- \frac{120}{\left(4 x + 1\right)^{\frac{7}{2}}}$$
