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.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F3578f3e4-1bc3-4b4b-9f3b-a9b3ea5dbfae%2F8afba446-896b-4ca7-92e5-ea2cff1de3c3%2F4rte178_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
