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:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
    -1     
-----------
    _______
2*\/ 4 - x 
$$- \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{- x + 4}}$$
The second derivative [src]
    -1      
------------
         3/2
4*(4 - x)   
$$- \frac{1}{4 \left(- x + 4\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$$
The third derivative [src]
    -3      
------------
         5/2
8*(4 - x)   
$$- \frac{3}{8 \left(- x + 4\right)^{\frac{5}{2}}}$$
