Question
We need to Find the second derivative and solve the equation
### Problem Overview

Given the function:
\[ 
f(x) = (x + 6)(x - 6)(x + 0.5)(x - 5) 
\]

### Task

1. Find the third derivative of the function, \( f'''(x) \).
2. Solve the equation \( f'''(x) = 0 \).

### Steps to Solve

#### 1. Finding \( f'''(x) \)

- First, expand the given polynomial.
- Differentiate the expanded polynomial three times to find \( f'''(x) \).

#### 2. Solving \( f'''(x) = 0 \)

- Set the third derivative equal to zero.
- Solve for the values of \( x \).

### Incorrect Solutions

The answer box displays:

\[ 
x = -\sqrt{\boxed{\phantom{5}}}, \sqrt{\boxed{\phantom{5}}} 
\]

### Note

- Ensure your calculations for the third derivative and solving \( f'''(x) = 0 \) are accurate.
- Double-check the provided answers for any placeholders or inaccuracies.
