Find the derivative of \(\displaystyle y = (9 - 6 x)(\log{\left(x \right)})(2 x + 1)\).


Identifying \(\displaystyle f=9 - 6 x\) and \(\displaystyle g=\left(2 x + 1\right) \log{\left(x \right)}\) and using the product rule with \(\displaystyle f=9 - 6 x \implies f'=-6\). This leaves g as \(\displaystyle g = \left(2 x + 1\right) \log{\left(x \right)}\) which also requires the product rule. Pushing down in the new product rule \(\displaystyle f=\log{\left(x \right)} \implies f'=\frac{1}{x}\) and \(\displaystyle g=2 x + 1 \implies g'=2\). Popping up a level gives \(\displaystyle g'=(2 x + 1)(\frac{1}{x})+(\log{\left(x \right)})(2)\)Popping up again (Back to the original problem) gives \(\displaystyle f'=(9 - 6 x)(2 \log{\left(x \right)} + \frac{2 x + 1}{x})+(\left(2 x + 1\right) \log{\left(x \right)})(-6)=\left(18 - 12 x\right) \log{\left(x \right)} + \left(- 12 x - 6\right) \log{\left(x \right)} + \frac{\left(9 - 6 x\right) \left(2 x + 1\right)}{x}\)
