Utilizing the General Power Rule in Finding the Derivative

Find the Derivative of: y=x5(1+2x)7

Step 1: Multiply both side by ddx 
dydx=ddxx5ddx1+2x)7

Step 2: Apply the General Power Rule in ddx1+2x)7
ddxcun=cnun-1dudx

Given: 
u=1+2x
dudx=2
n=7
c=1

Solution:
=(7)(1+2x)7-1(2)
=14(1+2x)6
ddxx5=5x4
dydx=5x4(14(1+2x)6)

Simplify: 70x4(1+2x)6

Final Answer: 70x41+2x)6
