Find the derivative of \(\displaystyle y = (- 8 x - 1)(\log{\left(x \right)})(2 x - 9)\).


Identifying \(\displaystyle f=- 8 x - 1\) and \(\displaystyle g=\left(2 x - 9\right) \log{\left(x \right)}\) and using the product rule with \(\displaystyle f=- 8 x - 1 \implies f'=-8\). This leaves g as \(\displaystyle g = \left(2 x - 9\right) \log{\left(x \right)}\) 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 \(\displaystyle g=2 x - 9 \implies g'=2\). Popping up a level gives \(\displaystyle g'=(2 x - 9)(\frac{1}{x})+(\log{\left(x \right)})(2)\)Popping up again (Back to the original problem) gives \(\displaystyle f'=(- 8 x - 1)(2 \log{\left(x \right)} + \frac{2 x - 9}{x})+(\left(2 x - 9\right) \log{\left(x \right)})(-8)=\left(72 - 16 x\right) \log{\left(x \right)} + \left(- 16 x - 2\right) \log{\left(x \right)} + \frac{\left(- 8 x - 1\right) \left(2 x - 9\right)}{x}\)
