The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
     2               
3*log (sec(x))*tan(x)
$$3 \log{\left(\sec{\left(x \right)} \right)}^{2} \tan{\left(x \right)}$$
The second derivative [src]
  /     2      /       2   \            \            
3*\2*tan (x) + \1 + tan (x)/*log(sec(x))/*log(sec(x))
$$3 \left(\left(\tan^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 1\right) \log{\left(\sec{\left(x \right)} \right)} + 2 \tan^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right) \log{\left(\sec{\left(x \right)} \right)}$$
The third derivative [src]
  /   2         2         /       2   \     /       2   \            \       
6*\tan (x) + log (sec(x))*\1 + tan (x)/ + 3*\1 + tan (x)/*log(sec(x))/*tan(x)
$$6 \left(\left(\tan^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 1\right) \log{\left(\sec{\left(x \right)} \right)}^{2} + 3 \left(\tan^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 1\right) \log{\left(\sec{\left(x \right)} \right)} + \tan^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right) \tan{\left(x \right)}$$
