Find the derivative of \(\displaystyle y = (- 7 x - 9)(\log{\left(x \right)})(3 - 4 x)\).


Identifying \(\displaystyle f=- 7 x - 9\) and \(\displaystyle g=\left(3 - 4 x\right) \log{\left(x \right)}\) and using the product rule with \(\displaystyle f=- 7 x - 9 \implies f'=-7\). This leaves g as \(\displaystyle g = \left(3 - 4 x\right) \log{\left(x \right)}\) which also requires the product rule. Pushing down in the new product rule \(\displaystyle f=\log{\left(x \right)} \implies f'=\frac{1}{x}\) and \(\displaystyle g=3 - 4 x \implies g'=-4\). Popping up a level gives \(\displaystyle g'=(3 - 4 x)(\frac{1}{x})+(\log{\left(x \right)})(-4)\)Popping up again (Back to the original problem) gives \(\displaystyle f'=(- 7 x - 9)(- 4 \log{\left(x \right)} + \frac{3 - 4 x}{x})+(\left(3 - 4 x\right) \log{\left(x \right)})(-7)=\left(28 x - 21\right) \log{\left(x \right)} + \left(28 x + 36\right) \log{\left(x \right)} + \frac{\left(3 - 4 x\right) \left(- 7 x - 9\right)}{x}\)
