The first derivative [src] 
     3          
4*sin (x)*cos(x)
$$4 \sin^{3}{\left(x \right)} \cos{\left(x \right)}$$
Simplify
The second derivative [src] 
     2    /     2           2   \
4*sin (x)*\- sin (x) + 3*cos (x)/
$$4 \left(- \sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 3 \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right) \sin^{2}{\left(x \right)}$$
Simplify
The third derivative [src] 
  /       2           2   \              
8*\- 5*sin (x) + 3*cos (x)/*cos(x)*sin(x)
$$8 \left(- 5 \sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 3 \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right) \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos{\left(x \right)}$$
