f(x)=1+x/1-X
f(x)=X^3(X-2)^2
Ive done the first and second derivatives but they just don't seem right

The Attempt at a Solution
f(x)=X^2/(x^2-16)
(X^2-16)(2X)-(X^2)(2X)/(X^2-16)^2
f'(x)=-32X^2/(X^2-16)^2
(X^4-32X^2+256)(-64X)-(-32X^2)(4X^3-64X)/(X^4-32X^2+256)^2
-64x^5+2048X^3-16384X+128X^5-2048X^3
f''(x)=64X^5-16384X/(X^4-32X^2+256)^2
f(x)=1+x/1-X
(1-X)(1)-(1+X)(-1)/(1-X)^2
f'(x)=2-2X/(1-X)^2
(X^2-2X+1)(-2)-(2X-2)(2-2X)/(X^2-2X+1)^2
f''(x)=2X^2+4X+2/(X^2-2X+1)^2
f(x)=X^3(X-2)^2
(X^3)(2X-4)+(3X^2)(X-2)^2
2X^4-4X^3+3X^4-12X^3+12X^2
f'(x)=5X^4-16X^3+12X^2
5X^4-16^3+12X^2
f''(x)=20X^3-48X^2+24X
