Detail solution
  1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

    1. Let .

    2. The derivative of sine is cosine:

    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 first derivative [src]
cos(a*x + b)
$$\cos{\left(a x + b \right)}$$
The second derivative [src]
-a*sin(b + a*x)
$$- a \sin{\left(a x + b \right)}$$
The third derivative [src]
  2             
-a *cos(b + a*x)
$$- a^{2} \cos{\left(a x + b \right)}$$
