Detail solution
  1. Differentiate term by term:

    1. Apply the power rule: goes to

    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
- 6*x  + 4*x 
$$4 x^{3} - 6 x^{2}$$
The second derivative [src]
12*x*(-1 + x)
$$12 x \left(x - 1\right)$$
The third derivative [src]
12*(-1 + 2*x)
$$12 \cdot \left(2 x - 1\right)$$
