\[y=(x^3-7x^2-x)(3x+5)\]
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
Use the product rule ahaha
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I tried it but it doesnt look right
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
Can you show me what you got after trying?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sure

\[y=(x^3-7x^2-x)(3)+(3x+5)(1)\]
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
I understand where you got the (3), but where did you get the (1) from?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
from x^3
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
Oh so I know where your problem is
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
Let's revise the basic stuffs of differentiation first :)

okay
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
Firstly is the derivative of x
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
I think you know this right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh wait wasn't it suppose to be 3x because i need to multiply 1x3 from its exponent

Well 3x is still incorrect, let's continue revising :p
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
What's the derivative of \(\Large x^2\)?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2x
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
And the derivative of \(\Large x^3\)?

3x^2
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
Exactly :)
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
Now what's the derivative of, say, \(\Large7x^2\)?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
14x
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
Now, what's the derivative of \(\Large x^3−7x^2−x\)?

\[3x^2-14x\]
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
Nope, try again please? The derivative of \(x\) isn't 0 :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[3x^2-14x-1\]
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
Yep, you're getting it :)
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
So, back to the question

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
The derivative of f(x)g(x) is f'(x)g(x)+g'(x)f(x)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it will be \[(3x^2-14x-1)(3x+5)+g'(x)f(x)\]
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
Well no.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i dont know what to do for (3x+5)
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
Wait, sorry for the "no", you're actually on the right track

I overlooked at something haha
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
You find its derivative
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it will be 3
OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):
My formula in words: The derivative of the product of two functions is the first function multiplied by the derivative of the second function plus the second function multiplied by the derivative of the first function.
And yes.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[(3x^2-14x-1)(3x+5)+(3)(x^3-7x^2-x)\]
