Find the derivative of \(\displaystyle y = (- 4 x^{2} - 6 x - 4)(2 x^{2} + x + 8)(9 x^{2} + 8 x - 3)\).


Identifying \(\displaystyle f=- 4 x^{2} - 6 x - 4\) and \(\displaystyle g=\left(2 x^{2} + x + 8\right) \left(9 x^{2} + 8 x - 3\right)\) and using the product rule with \(\displaystyle f=- 4 x^{2} - 6 x - 4 \implies f'=- 8 x - 6\). This leaves g as \(\displaystyle g = \left(2 x^{2} + x + 8\right) \left(9 x^{2} + 8 x - 3\right)\) which also requires the product rule. Pushing down in the new product rule \(\displaystyle f=2 x^{2} + x + 8 \implies f'=4 x + 1\) and \(\displaystyle g=9 x^{2} + 8 x - 3 \implies g'=18 x + 8\). Popping up a level gives \(\displaystyle g'=(9 x^{2} + 8 x - 3)(4 x + 1)+(2 x^{2} + x + 8)(18 x + 8)\)Popping up again (Back to the original problem) gives \(\displaystyle f'=(- 4 x^{2} - 6 x - 4)(\left(4 x + 1\right) \left(9 x^{2} + 8 x - 3\right) + \left(18 x + 8\right) \left(2 x^{2} + x + 8\right))+(\left(2 x^{2} + x + 8\right) \left(9 x^{2} + 8 x - 3\right))(- 8 x - 6)=\left(- 8 x - 6\right) \left(2 x^{2} + x + 8\right) \left(9 x^{2} + 8 x - 3\right) + \left(4 x + 1\right) \left(- 4 x^{2} - 6 x - 4\right) \left(9 x^{2} + 8 x - 3\right) + \left(18 x + 8\right) \left(- 4 x^{2} - 6 x - 4\right) \left(2 x^{2} + x + 8\right)\)
