Find the derivative of \(\displaystyle y = (7 x - 5)(9 x - 2)(2 x + 8)\).


Identifying \(\displaystyle f=7 x - 5\) and \(\displaystyle g=\left(2 x + 8\right) \left(9 x - 2\right)\) and using the product rule with \(\displaystyle f=7 x - 5 \implies f'=7\). This leaves g as \(\displaystyle g = \left(2 x + 8\right) \left(9 x - 2\right)\) which also requires the product rule. Pushing down in the new product rule \(\displaystyle f=9 x - 2 \implies f'=9\) and \(\displaystyle g=2 x + 8 \implies g'=2\). Popping up a level gives \(\displaystyle g'=(2 x + 8)(9)+(9 x - 2)(2)\)Popping up again (Back to the original problem) gives \(\displaystyle f'=(7 x - 5)(36 x + 68)+(\left(2 x + 8\right) \left(9 x - 2\right))(7)=\left(2 x + 8\right) \left(63 x - 45\right) + \left(2 x + 8\right) \left(63 x - 14\right) + 2 \left(7 x - 5\right) \left(9 x - 2\right)\)
