The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
(x - 1)*(x - 2)*(x - 3)*(x - 4) + (x - 5)*((x - 1)*(x - 2)*(x - 3) + (x - 4)*((-3 + 2*x)*(x - 3) + (x - 1)*(x - 2)))
$$\left(x - 2\right) \left(x - 1\right) \left(x - 3\right) \left(x - 4\right) + \left(x - 5\right) \left(\left(x - 2\right) \left(x - 1\right) \left(x - 3\right) + \left(x - 4\right) \left(\left(x - 3\right) \left(2 x - 3\right) + \left(x - 2\right) \left(x - 1\right)\right)\right)$$
The second derivative [src]
2*((-5 + x)*((-1 + x)*(-2 + x) + (-3 + x)*(-3 + 2*x) + 3*(-4 + x)*(-2 + x)) + (-4 + x)*((-1 + x)*(-2 + x) + (-3 + x)*(-3 + 2*x)) + (-1 + x)*(-3 + x)*(-2 + x))
$$2 \left(\left(x - 5\right) \left(3 \left(x - 4\right) \left(x - 2\right) + \left(x - 3\right) \left(2 x - 3\right) + \left(x - 2\right) \left(x - 1\right)\right) + \left(x - 4\right) \left(\left(x - 3\right) \left(2 x - 3\right) + \left(x - 2\right) \left(x - 1\right)\right) + \left(x - 3\right) \left(x - 2\right) \left(x - 1\right)\right)$$
The third derivative [src]
6*((-1 + x)*(-2 + x) + (-3 + x)*(-3 + 2*x) + 2*(-5 + x)*(-5 + 2*x) + 3*(-4 + x)*(-2 + x))
$$6 \left(2 \left(x - 5\right) \left(2 x - 5\right) + 3 \left(x - 4\right) \left(x - 2\right) + \left(x - 3\right) \left(2 x - 3\right) + \left(x - 2\right) \left(x - 1\right)\right)$$
