Find the derivative of LaTeX:  \displaystyle y = \frac{\left(4 x + 2\right)^{7} e^{x}}{\left(7 x + 1\right)^{5}}

Taking the natural logarithm of both sides of the equation and expanding the right hand side gives: LaTeX:  \ln(y) = \ln{\left(\frac{\left(4 x + 2\right)^{7} e^{x}}{\left(7 x + 1\right)^{5}} \right)}   Expanding the right hand side using the product and quotient properties of logarithms gives: LaTeX:  \ln(y) = x + 7 \ln{\left(4 x + 2 \right)}- 5 \ln{\left(7 x + 1 \right)}   Taking the derivative on both sides of the equation yields: LaTeX:  \frac{y'}{y} = 1 - \frac{35}{7 x + 1} + \frac{28}{4 x + 2}   Solving for LaTeX:  \displaystyle y' and substituting out y using the original equation gives LaTeX:  y' = \left(1 - \frac{35}{7 x + 1} + \frac{28}{4 x + 2}\right)\left(\frac{\left(4 x + 2\right)^{7} e^{x}}{\left(7 x + 1\right)^{5}} \right)
