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

      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:

      So, the result is:

    The result is:

  2. Now simplify:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
      2       3
- 12*x  + 12*x 
$$12 x^{3} - 12 x^{2}$$
The second derivative [src]
12*x*(-2 + 3*x)
$$12 x \left(3 x - 2\right)$$
The third derivative [src]
24*(-1 + 3*x)
$$24 \cdot \left(3 x - 1\right)$$
