How to take the derivative of product of a sequence?

How to take the derivative of $prod_{i=1}^{n}(1-e^{-lambda _{i}cdot x})I(x>0)$ with regard to x?



Here $F(X)=prod_{i=1}^{n}(1-e^{-lambda _{i}cdot x})I(x>0)$ is a CDF, and I want to take the derivative of it and get the pdf of X.



I try to take the log of F(X), so $frac{partial}{partial x}logF(x)=frac{partial logF(x)}{partial F(x)}cdot frac{partial F(x)}{partial x}$, then I can get $f(x)= frac{partial F(x)}{partial x} $, but I don't know how the move on with $frac{partial}{partial x}logF(x)$

          $$
          frac{d}{dx}prod_{i=1}^{n}(1-e^{-lambda _{i}x})I(x>0)=frac{d}{dx}left(prod_{i=1}^{n}(1-e^{-lambda _{i}x})right)I(x>0)+prod_{i=1}^{n}(1-e^{-lambda _{i}x})frac{d}{dx}I(x>0) .
          $$

          Note that
          $$
          frac{d}{dx}I(x>0)=delta(x) ,
          $$

          therefore in principle your pdf would have a Dirac mass at $x=0$, whose coefficient is $prod_{i=1}^{n}(1-e^{-lambda _{i}x})Big|_{x=0}=0$ (so no point mass after all...).



          Evaluating $frac{d}{dx}left(prod_{i=1}^{n}(1-e^{-lambda _{i}x})right)$ is not hard, just rewrite
          $$
          frac{d}{dx}left(prod_{i=1}^{n}(1-e^{-lambda _{i}x})right)=frac{d}{dx}e^{sum_{i=1}^n log(1-e^{-lambda _{i}x})}=e^{sum_{i=1}^n log(1-e^{-lambda _{i}x})}sum_{i=1}^n frac{d}{dx}log(1-e^{-lambda _{i}x})
          $$

          $$
          =left(prod_{i=1}^{n}(1-e^{-lambda _{i}x})right)sum_{j=1}^nfrac{lambda_j e^{-lambda_j x}}{1-e^{-lambda_j x}} .
          $$
