2/(2*x - 3)
Detail solution
  1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

    1. Let .

    2. Apply the power rule: goes to

    3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :

      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 the constant is zero.

        The result is:

      The result of the chain rule is:

    So, the result is:

  2. Now simplify:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
   -4     
----------
         2
(2*x - 3) 
$$- \frac{4}{\left(2 x - 3\right)^{2}}$$
The second derivative [src]
     16    
-----------
          3
(-3 + 2*x) 
$$\frac{16}{\left(2 x - 3\right)^{3}}$$
The third derivative [src]
    -96    
-----------
          4
(-3 + 2*x) 
$$- \frac{96}{\left(2 x - 3\right)^{4}}$$
