Detail solution
  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 the constant is zero.

      2. 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:

      The result is:

    The result of the chain rule is:

  4. Now simplify:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
     /     2\
-4*x*\1 - x /
$$- 4 x \left(1 - x^{2}\right)$$
The second derivative [src]
  /        2\
4*\-1 + 3*x /
$$4 \left(3 x^{2} - 1\right)$$
The third derivative [src]
24*x
$$24 x$$
