Find the derivative of \(\displaystyle y = (\log{\left(x \right)})(- 3 x^{3} - 5 x^{2} + 8 x + 2)(- 7 x^{3} + 4 x^{2} + 7 x - 2)\).


Identifying \(\displaystyle f=\log{\left(x \right)}\) and \(\displaystyle g=\left(- 7 x^{3} + 4 x^{2} + 7 x - 2\right) \left(- 3 x^{3} - 5 x^{2} + 8 x + 2\right)\) and using the product rule with \(\displaystyle f=\log{\left(x \right)} \implies f'=\frac{1}{x}\). This leaves g as \(\displaystyle g = \left(- 7 x^{3} + 4 x^{2} + 7 x - 2\right) \left(- 3 x^{3} - 5 x^{2} + 8 x + 2\right)\) which also requires the product rule. Pushing down in the new product rule \(\displaystyle f=- 3 x^{3} - 5 x^{2} + 8 x + 2 \implies f'=- 9 x^{2} - 10 x + 8\) and \(\displaystyle g=- 7 x^{3} + 4 x^{2} + 7 x - 2 \implies g'=- 21 x^{2} + 8 x + 7\). Popping up a level gives \(\displaystyle g'=(- 7 x^{3} + 4 x^{2} + 7 x - 2)(- 9 x^{2} - 10 x + 8)+(- 3 x^{3} - 5 x^{2} + 8 x + 2)(- 21 x^{2} + 8 x + 7)\)Popping up again (Back to the original problem) gives \(\displaystyle f'=(\log{\left(x \right)})(\left(- 21 x^{2} + 8 x + 7\right) \left(- 3 x^{3} - 5 x^{2} + 8 x + 2\right) + \left(- 9 x^{2} - 10 x + 8\right) \left(- 7 x^{3} + 4 x^{2} + 7 x - 2\right))+(\left(- 7 x^{3} + 4 x^{2} + 7 x - 2\right) \left(- 3 x^{3} - 5 x^{2} + 8 x + 2\right))(\frac{1}{x})=\left(- 21 x^{2} + 8 x + 7\right) \left(- 3 x^{3} - 5 x^{2} + 8 x + 2\right) \log{\left(x \right)} + \left(- 9 x^{2} - 10 x + 8\right) \left(- 7 x^{3} + 4 x^{2} + 7 x - 2\right) \log{\left(x \right)} + \frac{\left(- 7 x^{3} + 4 x^{2} + 7 x - 2\right) \left(- 3 x^{3} - 5 x^{2} + 8 x + 2\right)}{x}\)
