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 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:

  4. Now simplify:


The answer is:

The first derivative [src]
     4     
-----------
  _________
\/ 8*x - 5 
$$\frac{4}{\sqrt{8 x - 5}}$$
The second derivative [src]
     -16     
-------------
          3/2
(-5 + 8*x)   
$$- \frac{16}{\left(8 x - 5\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$$
The third derivative [src]
     192     
-------------
          5/2
(-5 + 8*x)   
$$\frac{192}{\left(8 x - 5\right)^{\frac{5}{2}}}$$
