Find the derivative of \(\displaystyle y = (\log{\left(x \right)})(- 7 x - 8)(- x - 3)\).


Identifying \(\displaystyle f=\log{\left(x \right)}\) and \(\displaystyle g=\left(- 7 x - 8\right) \left(- x - 3\right)\) and using the product rule with \(\displaystyle f=\log{\left(x \right)} \implies f'=\frac{1}{x}\). This leaves g as \(\displaystyle g = \left(- 7 x - 8\right) \left(- x - 3\right)\) which also requires the product rule. Pushing down in the new product rule \(\displaystyle f=- 7 x - 8 \implies f'=-7\) and \(\displaystyle g=- x - 3 \implies g'=-1\). Popping up a level gives \(\displaystyle g'=(- x - 3)(-7)+(- 7 x - 8)(-1)\)Popping up again (Back to the original problem) gives \(\displaystyle f'=(\log{\left(x \right)})(14 x + 29)+(\left(- 7 x - 8\right) \left(- x - 3\right))(\frac{1}{x})=\left(7 x + 8\right) \log{\left(x \right)} + \left(7 x + 21\right) \log{\left(x \right)} + \frac{\left(- 7 x - 8\right) \left(- x - 3\right)}{x}\)
