Find the derivative of \(\displaystyle y = (5 x - 8)(2 x + 4)(3 x - 6)\).


Identifying \(\displaystyle f=5 x - 8\) and \(\displaystyle g=\left(2 x + 4\right) \left(3 x - 6\right)\) and using the product rule with \(\displaystyle f=5 x - 8 \implies f'=5\). This leaves g as \(\displaystyle g = \left(2 x + 4\right) \left(3 x - 6\right)\) which also requires the product rule. Pushing down in the new product rule \(\displaystyle f=2 x + 4 \implies f'=2\) and \(\displaystyle g=3 x - 6 \implies g'=3\). Popping up a level gives \(\displaystyle g'=(3 x - 6)(2)+(2 x + 4)(3)\)Popping up again (Back to the original problem) gives \(\displaystyle f'=(5 x - 8)(12 x)+(\left(2 x + 4\right) \left(3 x - 6\right))(5)=\left(2 x + 4\right) \left(15 x - 30\right) + \left(2 x + 4\right) \left(15 x - 24\right) + 2 \left(3 x - 6\right) \left(5 x - 8\right)\)
