Find the derivative of \(\displaystyle y = (- 6 x - 1)(7 x + 5)(- 4 x - 1)\).


Identifying \(\displaystyle f=- 6 x - 1\) and \(\displaystyle g=\left(- 4 x - 1\right) \left(7 x + 5\right)\) and using the product rule with \(\displaystyle f=- 6 x - 1 \implies f'=-6\). This leaves g as \(\displaystyle g = \left(- 4 x - 1\right) \left(7 x + 5\right)\) which also requires the product rule. Pushing down in the new product rule \(\displaystyle f=7 x + 5 \implies f'=7\) and \(\displaystyle g=- 4 x - 1 \implies g'=-4\). Popping up a level gives \(\displaystyle g'=(- 4 x - 1)(7)+(7 x + 5)(-4)\)Popping up again (Back to the original problem) gives \(\displaystyle f'=(- 6 x - 1)(- 56 x - 27)+(\left(- 4 x - 1\right) \left(7 x + 5\right))(-6)=7 \left(- 6 x - 1\right) \left(- 4 x - 1\right) + \left(7 x + 5\right) \left(24 x + 4\right) + \left(7 x + 5\right) \left(24 x + 6\right)\)
