Find the derivative of \(\displaystyle y = (- 5 x^{2} - 3 x - 8)(6 x^{2} - x - 5)(3 x^{2} - 5 x - 9)\).


Identifying \(\displaystyle f=- 5 x^{2} - 3 x - 8\) and \(\displaystyle g=\left(3 x^{2} - 5 x - 9\right) \left(6 x^{2} - x - 5\right)\) and using the product rule with \(\displaystyle f=- 5 x^{2} - 3 x - 8 \implies f'=- 10 x - 3\). This leaves g as \(\displaystyle g = \left(3 x^{2} - 5 x - 9\right) \left(6 x^{2} - x - 5\right)\) which also requires the product rule. Pushing down in the new product rule \(\displaystyle f=6 x^{2} - x - 5 \implies f'=12 x - 1\) and \(\displaystyle g=3 x^{2} - 5 x - 9 \implies g'=6 x - 5\). Popping up a level gives \(\displaystyle g'=(3 x^{2} - 5 x - 9)(12 x - 1)+(6 x^{2} - x - 5)(6 x - 5)\)Popping up again (Back to the original problem) gives \(\displaystyle f'=(- 5 x^{2} - 3 x - 8)(\left(6 x - 5\right) \left(6 x^{2} - x - 5\right) + \left(12 x - 1\right) \left(3 x^{2} - 5 x - 9\right))+(\left(3 x^{2} - 5 x - 9\right) \left(6 x^{2} - x - 5\right))(- 10 x - 3)=\left(- 10 x - 3\right) \left(3 x^{2} - 5 x - 9\right) \left(6 x^{2} - x - 5\right) + \left(6 x - 5\right) \left(- 5 x^{2} - 3 x - 8\right) \left(6 x^{2} - x - 5\right) + \left(12 x - 1\right) \left(- 5 x^{2} - 3 x - 8\right) \left(3 x^{2} - 5 x - 9\right)\)
