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"
