find f'''(x)
\(f\left(x\right)=\ln \left[\left(x^{2}+4\right)\left(x^{3}+8x-3\right)^{2}\right]\)

We are tasked with finding the third derivative \( f'''(x) \) of the given function:

\[
f(x) = \ln \left[\left(x^{2}+4\right)\left(x^{3}+8x-3\right)^{2}\right]
\]

### Step 1: Apply the logarithmic properties

We can simplify the logarithmic function using the property of logarithms:

\[
\ln(a \cdot b) = \ln(a) + \ln(b)
\]
\[
\ln(b^n) = n \ln(b)
\]

Thus, we rewrite \( f(x) \):

\[
f(x) = \ln(x^2 + 4) + 2 \ln(x^3 + 8x - 3)
\]

### Step 2: Differentiate \( f(x) \) to find \( f'(x) \)

We now differentiate each term separately using the chain rule:

1. For \( \ln(x^2 + 4) \), use the chain rule:
   \[
   \frac{d}{dx} \left( \ln(x^2 + 4) \right) = \frac{1}{x^2 + 4} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x^2 + 4) = \frac{2x}{x^2 + 4}
   \]

2. For \( 2 \ln(x^3 + 8x - 3) \), apply the chain rule again:
   \[
   \frac{d}{dx} \left( 2 \ln(x^3 + 8x - 3) \right) = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{x^3 + 8x - 3} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x^3 + 8x - 3) = 2 \cdot \frac{3x^2 + 8}{x^3 + 8x - 3}
   \]

Thus, the first derivative is:

\[
f'(x) = \frac{2x}{x^2 + 4} + 2 \cdot \frac{3x^2 + 8}{x^3 + 8x - 3}
\]

### Step 3: Find \( f''(x) \) by differentiating \( f'(x) \)

We now differentiate \( f'(x) \):

1. Differentiate \( \frac{2x}{x^2 + 4} \) using the quotient rule:
   \[
   \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{2x}{x^2 + 4} \right) = \frac{(2)(x^2 + 4) - 2x(2x)}{(x^2 + 4)^2} = \frac{2(x^2 + 4 - 2x^2)}{(x^2 + 4)^2} = \frac{8 - 2x^2}{(x^2 + 4)^2}
   \]

2. Differentiate \( 2 \cdot \frac{3x^2 + 8}{x^3 + 8x - 3} \) using the quotient rule:
   Let \( u(x) = 3x^2 + 8 \) and \( v(x) = x^3 + 8x - 3 \), so the quotient rule gives:
   \[
   \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{u(x)}{v(x)} \right) = \frac{u'(x)v(x) - u(x)v'(x)}{v(x)^2}
   \]
   First, calculate:
   \[
   u'(x) = 6x \quad \text{and} \quad v'(x) = 3x^2 + 8
   \]
   Therefore:
   \[
   \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{3x^2 + 8}{x^3 + 8x - 3} \right) = \frac{(6x)(x^3 + 8x - 3) - (3x^2 + 8)(3x^2 + 8)}{(x^3 + 8x - 3)^2}
   \]

Thus, \( f''(x) \) is:

\[
f''(x) = \frac{8 - 2x^2}{(x^2 + 4)^2} + 2 \cdot \frac{6x(x^3 + 8x - 3) - (3x^2 + 8)(3x^2 + 8)}{(x^3 + 8x - 3)^2}
\]

### Step 4: Find \( f'''(x) \)

To obtain \( f'''(x) \), we would differentiate \( f''(x) \), which involves applying the quotient rule again for both terms.
