Find the derivative of \(\displaystyle y = (x^{2} - 2 x + 6)(- 2 x^{2} - 2 x + 1)(e^{x})\).
Identifying \(\displaystyle f=x^{2} - 2 x + 6\) and \(\displaystyle g=\left(- 2 x^{2} - 2 x + 1\right) e^{x}\) and using the product rule with \(\displaystyle f=x^{2} - 2 x + 6 \implies f'=2 x - 2\). This leaves g as \(\displaystyle g = \left(- 2 x^{2} - 2 x + 1\right) e^{x}\) which also requires the product rule. Pushing down in the new product rule \(\displaystyle f=- 2 x^{2} - 2 x + 1 \implies f'=- 4 x - 2\) and \(\displaystyle g=e^{x} \implies g'=e^{x}\). Popping up a level gives \(\displaystyle g'=(e^{x})(- 4 x - 2)+(- 2 x^{2} - 2 x + 1)(e^{x})\)Popping up again (Back to the original problem) gives \(\displaystyle f'=(x^{2} - 2 x + 6)(\left(- 4 x - 2\right) e^{x} + \left(- 2 x^{2} - 2 x + 1\right) e^{x})+(\left(- 2 x^{2} - 2 x + 1\right) e^{x})(2 x - 2)=\left(- 4 x - 2\right) \left(x^{2} - 2 x + 6\right) e^{x} + \left(2 x - 2\right) \left(- 2 x^{2} - 2 x + 1\right) e^{x} + \left(- 2 x^{2} - 2 x + 1\right) \left(x^{2} - 2 x + 6\right) e^{x}\)
