Find the derivative of \(\displaystyle y = \frac{x^{4} \left(- x - 6\right)^{7} e^{x}}{\left(x - 2\right)^{7} \left(3 x + 2\right)^{2} \sqrt{3 x + 7}}\)
Taking the natural logarithm of both sides of the equation and expanding the right hand side gives: \begin{equation*}\ln(y) = \ln{\left(\frac{x^{4} \left(- x - 6\right)^{7} e^{x}}{\left(x - 2\right)^{7} \left(3 x + 2\right)^{2} \sqrt{3 x + 7}} \right)} \end{equation*} Expanding the right hand side using the product and quotient properties of logarithms gives: \begin{equation*}\ln(y) = x + 4 \ln{\left(x \right)} + 7 \ln{\left(- x - 6 \right)}- 7 \ln{\left(x - 2 \right)} - 2 \ln{\left(3 x + 2 \right)} - \frac{\ln{\left(3 x + 7 \right)}}{2} \end{equation*} Taking the derivative on both sides of the equation yields: \begin{equation*}\frac{y'}{y} = 1 - \frac{3}{2 \left(3 x + 7\right)} - \frac{6}{3 x + 2} - \frac{7}{x - 2} - \frac{7}{- x - 6} + \frac{4}{x} \end{equation*} Solving for \(\displaystyle y'\) and substituting out y using the original equation gives \begin{equation*}y' = \left(1 - \frac{3}{2 \left(3 x + 7\right)} - \frac{6}{3 x + 2} - \frac{7}{x - 2} - \frac{7}{- x - 6} + \frac{4}{x}\right)\left(\frac{x^{4} \left(- x - 6\right)^{7} e^{x}}{\left(x - 2\right)^{7} \left(3 x + 2\right)^{2} \sqrt{3 x + 7}} \right) \end{equation*}
\begin{question}Find the derivative of $y = \frac{x^{4} \left(- x - 6\right)^{7} e^{x}}{\left(x - 2\right)^{7} \left(3 x + 2\right)^{2} \sqrt{3 x + 7}}$
\soln{9cm}{Taking the natural logarithm of both sides of the equation and expanding the right hand side gives:
\begin{equation*}\ln(y) = \ln{\left(\frac{x^{4} \left(- x - 6\right)^{7} e^{x}}{\left(x - 2\right)^{7} \left(3 x + 2\right)^{2} \sqrt{3 x + 7}} \right)} \end{equation*}
Expanding the right hand side using the product and quotient properties of logarithms gives:
\begin{equation*}\ln(y) = x + 4 \ln{\left(x \right)} + 7 \ln{\left(- x - 6 \right)}- 7 \ln{\left(x - 2 \right)} - 2 \ln{\left(3 x + 2 \right)} - \frac{\ln{\left(3 x + 7 \right)}}{2} \end{equation*}
Taking the derivative on both sides of the equation yields:
\begin{equation*}\frac{y'}{y} = 1 - \frac{3}{2 \left(3 x + 7\right)} - \frac{6}{3 x + 2} - \frac{7}{x - 2} - \frac{7}{- x - 6} + \frac{4}{x} \end{equation*}
Solving for $y'$ and substituting out y using the original equation gives
\begin{equation*}y' = \left(1 - \frac{3}{2 \left(3 x + 7\right)} - \frac{6}{3 x + 2} - \frac{7}{x - 2} - \frac{7}{- x - 6} + \frac{4}{x}\right)\left(\frac{x^{4} \left(- x - 6\right)^{7} e^{x}}{\left(x - 2\right)^{7} \left(3 x + 2\right)^{2} \sqrt{3 x + 7}} \right) \end{equation*}
