How do you differentiate #sin(x^4)#? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Chain Rule 1 Answer 256 Aug 4, 2017 #4x^3cos(x^4)# Explanation: By the chain rule #(sin(x^4))'=(x^4)'sin'(x^4)# #=4x^3sin'(x^4)# by the power rule And since #sin'(x)=cos(x)# #(sin(x^4))'=4x^3cos(x^4)# Answer link Related questions What is the Chain Rule for derivatives?
