Shown below

Explanation:

Use the chain rule:

d/dx f ( g(x) ) = f'(g(x) ) * g'(x)

=> d/dx sin^5 x = d/dx ( sinx )^5

=> 5 sin^4 x * d/dx sinx

= 5 cosx sin^4 x

5cosxsin^4x

Explanation:

"differentiate using the "color(blue)"chain rule"

"given "y=f(g(x))" then"

dy/dx=f'(g(x))xxg'(x)larrcolor(blue)"chain rule"

"here "y=sin^5x=(sinx)^5

rArrdy/dx=5(sinx)^4xxd/dx(sinx)

color(white)(rArrdy/dx)=5cosxsin^4x
