Hello,
Here's the question f(x) = (x + 1)(x^2 + 2)(x^3 + 3). Find the derivative.
I know that with 2 expressions such as f(x) = (2x^2 + x - 1)(x^3 + x), to find the derivative it's a matter of getting the derivative of the 1st expression times the 2nd expression PLUS the first expression times the derivative of the 2nd expression.
How do we do this when there are 3 expressions?
