Find the derivative of \(\displaystyle y = (6 x + 2)(\cos{\left(x \right)})(3 x - 2)\).


Identifying \(\displaystyle f=6 x + 2\) and \(\displaystyle g=\left(3 x - 2\right) \cos{\left(x \right)}\) and using the product rule with \(\displaystyle f=6 x + 2 \implies f'=6\). This leaves g as \(\displaystyle g = \left(3 x - 2\right) \cos{\left(x \right)}\) which also requires the product rule. Pushing down in the new product rule \(\displaystyle f=\cos{\left(x \right)} \implies f'=- \sin{\left(x \right)}\) and \(\displaystyle g=3 x - 2 \implies g'=3\). Popping up a level gives \(\displaystyle g'=(3 x - 2)(- \sin{\left(x \right)})+(\cos{\left(x \right)})(3)\)Popping up again (Back to the original problem) gives \(\displaystyle f'=(6 x + 2)(- \left(3 x - 2\right) \sin{\left(x \right)} + 3 \cos{\left(x \right)})+(\left(3 x - 2\right) \cos{\left(x \right)})(6)=- \left(3 x - 2\right) \left(6 x + 2\right) \sin{\left(x \right)} + \left(18 x - 12\right) \cos{\left(x \right)} + \left(18 x + 6\right) \cos{\left(x \right)}\)
