3*sin (x)*cos(x)
$$3 \sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} \cos{\left(x \right)}$$
(3*sin(x)^2)*cos(x)
Detail solution
  1. Apply the product rule:

    ; to find :

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

      1. Let .

      2. Apply the power rule: goes to

      3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :

        1. The derivative of sine is cosine:

        The result of the chain rule is:

      So, the result is:

    ; to find :

    1. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:

    The result is:

  2. Now simplify:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
       3           2          
- 3*sin (x) + 6*cos (x)*sin(x)
$$- 3 \sin^{3}{\left(x \right)} + 6 \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}$$
The second derivative [src]
   /       2           2   \       
-3*\- 2*cos (x) + 7*sin (x)/*cos(x)
$$- 3 \left(7 \sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} - 2 \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right) \cos{\left(x \right)}$$
The third derivative [src]
  /        2           2   \       
3*\- 20*cos (x) + 7*sin (x)/*sin(x)
$$3 \left(7 \sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} - 20 \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right) \sin{\left(x \right)}$$
