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. Apply the power rule: goes to

      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]
         3
4*(x - 3) 
$$4 \left(x - 3\right)^{3}$$
The second derivative [src]
           2
12*(-3 + x) 
$$12 \left(x - 3\right)^{2}$$
The third derivative [src]
24*(-3 + x)
$$24 \left(x - 3\right)$$
