Find the derivative of \(\displaystyle y = (- x^{2} - x + 7)(9 x^{2} - 6 x + 7)(- 3 x^{2} - 6 x + 8)\).


Identifying \(\displaystyle f=- x^{2} - x + 7\) and \(\displaystyle g=\left(- 3 x^{2} - 6 x + 8\right) \left(9 x^{2} - 6 x + 7\right)\) and using the product rule with \(\displaystyle f=- x^{2} - x + 7 \implies f'=- 2 x - 1\). This leaves g as \(\displaystyle g = \left(- 3 x^{2} - 6 x + 8\right) \left(9 x^{2} - 6 x + 7\right)\) which also requires the product rule. Pushing down in the new product rule \(\displaystyle f=9 x^{2} - 6 x + 7 \implies f'=18 x - 6\) and \(\displaystyle g=- 3 x^{2} - 6 x + 8 \implies g'=- 6 x - 6\). Popping up a level gives \(\displaystyle g'=(- 3 x^{2} - 6 x + 8)(18 x - 6)+(9 x^{2} - 6 x + 7)(- 6 x - 6)\)Popping up again (Back to the original problem) gives \(\displaystyle f'=(- x^{2} - x + 7)(\left(- 6 x - 6\right) \left(9 x^{2} - 6 x + 7\right) + \left(18 x - 6\right) \left(- 3 x^{2} - 6 x + 8\right))+(\left(- 3 x^{2} - 6 x + 8\right) \left(9 x^{2} - 6 x + 7\right))(- 2 x - 1)=\left(- 6 x - 6\right) \left(- x^{2} - x + 7\right) \left(9 x^{2} - 6 x + 7\right) + \left(- 2 x - 1\right) \left(- 3 x^{2} - 6 x + 8\right) \left(9 x^{2} - 6 x + 7\right) + \left(18 x - 6\right) \left(- 3 x^{2} - 6 x + 8\right) \left(- x^{2} - x + 7\right)\)
