Homework Statement



(x[itex]^{2}[/itex]-x[itex]^{-1}[/itex]+1)(x[itex]^{3}[/itex]+2x-6)[itex]^{7}[/itex]

Homework Equations


Chain Rule & Power Rule

The Attempt at a Solution



(x[itex]^{3}[/itex]+2x-6)[itex]^{6}[/itex][(x[itex]^{3}[/itex]+2x-6)(2x+x[itex]^{-2}[/itex])+7(3x[itex]^{2}[/itex]+2)(x[itex]^{2}[/itex]-x[itex]^{-1}[/itex]+1)]

This is the farthest I've gotten but when I do additional computation I do not arrive at the correct simplified solution.

edit- should be "simplify derivative after using power rule and chain rule"
