Hello, i am having trouble taking the derivative of functions with using the chain rule plus another rule such as the product rule... i know how to do chain rule by it self and product rule by itself but i am having trouble using them together.. here is an example
g(x)= ( 1+4x )5 ( 3+x-x2 )8

What Mathman is saying is that you first must use The Product Rule for Differentiation.
Then each derivative [h ' (x) and f ' (x) ] will require using The Chain Rule.
