### Calculus: Higher Order Derivatives

**Problem Statement:**

For the function \( f(x) = 3x^5 - 4x^4 + 3x^3 + 5x^2 + 6 \), find \( f'''(x) \), the third derivative of \( f \), and \( f^{(4)}(x) \), the fourth derivative of \( f \).

**Solution:**

1. **First Derivative, \( f'(x) \):**
   - Differentiate each term with respect to \( x \):
     - \( 3x^5 \) becomes \( 15x^4 \)
     - \( -4x^4 \) becomes \( -16x^3 \)
     - \( 3x^3 \) becomes \( 9x^2 \)
     - \( 5x^2 \) becomes \( 10x \)
     - \( 6 \) becomes \( 0 \)
   
   Thus, 
   \[
   f'(x) = 15x^4 - 16x^3 + 9x^2 + 10x
   \]

2. **Second Derivative, \( f''(x) \):**
   - Differentiate \( f'(x) \):
     - \( 15x^4 \) becomes \( 60x^3 \)
     - \( -16x^3 \) becomes \( -48x^2 \)
     - \( 9x^2 \) becomes \( 18x \)
     - \( 10x \) becomes \( 10 \)
   
   Thus, 
   \[
   f''(x) = 60x^3 - 48x^2 + 18x + 10
   \]

3. **Third Derivative, \( f'''(x) \):**
   - Differentiate \( f''(x) \):
     - \( 60x^3 \) becomes \( 180x^2 \)
     - \( -48x^2 \) becomes \( -96x \)
     - \( 18x \) becomes \( 18 \)
     - \( 10 \) becomes \( 0 \)
   
   Thus, 
   \[
   f'''(x) = 180x^2 - 96x + 18
   \]
