so ive go a question asking me to find the first derivative of 3(-0.1n^2+10n)-2(-0.2n+10) so ive brought the 3 and -2 into the brackets to get (-0.3n^2+30n)(0.4n+20) now when i derive this using product rule to get (-0.6n+30)(0.4n+20)+(0.4)(-0.3n^2+30n) and once i expand this and simplify i get down to

0.12n^2-12n+600 and all i need to know is if i did this right and if not where did i go wrong

I assume what you have is this

[3(-0.1n^2+10n)]  * [-2(-0.2n+10)]     if so, we have

[-.3n^2 + 30n] * [-.4n -20]    let's just simplify this directly.....we have

.12n^3 - 12n^2 + 6n^2 - 600n =

.12n^3 - 6n^2 - 600n

And taking the derivative of this, we have

.36n^2 - 12n - 600

y  =  3(-0.1n² + 10n)   --->   y  =  -0.3n² + 30n   --->   y' =   -0.6n + 30

y  =  -2(-0.2n + 10)   --->   y  =  0.4n - 20   --->  y'  =  0.4

Total:  y'  =  -0.6n + 30  + 0.4   --->   y'  =  -0.6n + 30.4

If you add them first:  y  =  -.3n² + 30n + 0.4n + 10   --->   y  =  -.3n² + 30.4n + 10  

                                              --->   y'  =  -0.6n + 30.4

   ---   addd these together, don't multiply them ...
