Homework Statement
Differentiate the following function with respect to x,
p(x) = (( x+5 )^2)*(( x+3 )^7)
Homework Equations
well the product rule is,
p(x)=(f)*(g)
p'(x)= (f')*(g)+(g')*(f)
and general differentiation is,
p'(x)=n(f)^(n-1)*n(g)^(n-1)
The Attempt at a Solution
well i used the product rule and got
(2(x+5))*((x+3)^7)+(7(x+3)^6)*((x+5)^2)
but this is said to be wrong how do i simplify it more or what have i done wrong?
