Find the derivative of \(\displaystyle y = (4 - 2 x)(9 x - 7)(- 5 x - 4)\).


Identifying \(\displaystyle f=4 - 2 x\) and \(\displaystyle g=\left(- 5 x - 4\right) \left(9 x - 7\right)\) and using the product rule with \(\displaystyle f=4 - 2 x \implies f'=-2\). This leaves g as \(\displaystyle g = \left(- 5 x - 4\right) \left(9 x - 7\right)\) which also requires the product rule. Pushing down in the new product rule \(\displaystyle f=9 x - 7 \implies f'=9\) and \(\displaystyle g=- 5 x - 4 \implies g'=-5\). Popping up a level gives \(\displaystyle g'=(- 5 x - 4)(9)+(9 x - 7)(-5)\)Popping up again (Back to the original problem) gives \(\displaystyle f'=(4 - 2 x)(- 90 x - 1)+(\left(- 5 x - 4\right) \left(9 x - 7\right))(-2)=\left(4 - 2 x\right) \left(35 - 45 x\right) + \left(4 - 2 x\right) \left(- 45 x - 36\right) - 2 \left(- 5 x - 4\right) \left(9 x - 7\right)\)
