u^{-3}\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}u}(u^{7})+u^{7}\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}u}(u^{-3})
For any two differentiable functions, the derivative of the product of two functions is the first function times the derivative of the second plus the second function times the derivative of the first.
u^{-3}\times 7u^{7-1}+u^{7}\left(-3\right)u^{-3-1}
The derivative of a polynomial is the sum of the derivatives of its terms. The derivative of a constant term is 0. The derivative of ax^{n} is nax^{n-1}.
u^{-3}\times 7u^{6}+u^{7}\left(-3\right)u^{-4}
Simplify.
7u^{-3+6}-3u^{7-4}
