    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 graph
The first derivative [src]
       4 - 8*x       
---------------------
         2          2
(2*x - 1) *(2*x - 1) 
$$\frac{4 - 8 x}{\left(2 x - 1\right)^{2} \left(2 x - 1\right)^{2}}$$
The second derivative [src]
     24    
-----------
          4
(-1 + 2*x) 
$$\frac{24}{\left(2 x - 1\right)^{4}}$$
The third derivative [src]
   -192    
-----------
          5
(-1 + 2*x) 
$$- \frac{192}{\left(2 x - 1\right)^{5}}$$
