(2x 5)4(x2 + x + 1)5

Here's what I have so far:

(2x-5)4[d/dx(x2+x+1)5]+(x2+x+1)[d/dx(2x-5)4]

5(x2+x+1)4(2x+1)(2x-5)4 + 4(2x-5)3(2)(x2+x+1)5

How am I supposed to get it in to this form?

symimage.cgi


I'm completely off and I can't figure out why.

5(x2+x+1)4(2x+1)(2x-5)4 + 4(2x-5)3(2)(x2+x+1)5

= (2x-5)3 *[5(x2 + x + 1)4 * (2x+1)(2x-5) + 8(x2+x+1)5]

= (2x-5)3 *(x2 + x + 1)4[5 * (2x+1)(2x-5) + 8(x2+x+1)]

Now continue....
