![### 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
