How do you find the derivative of [x+(x+sin^2x)^3]^4?

1 Answer

d/dx[x+(x+sin^2 x)^3]^4
=4[x+(x+sin^2 x)^3]^3*[1+3(x+sin^2 x)^2*(1+sin 2x)]
Take note: sin 2x=2*sin x*cos x

Explanation:

From the given

[x+(x+sin^2 x)^3]^4

d/dx[x+(x+sin^2 x)^3]^4=
4*[x+(x+sin^2 x)^3]^(4-1)*d/dx(x+(x+sin^2 x)^3)

=4*[x+(x+sin^2 x)^3]^3*(1+3*(x+sin^2 x)^(3-1)*d/dx(x+sin^2 x))

=4*[x+(x+sin^2 x)^3]^3*(1+3*(x+sin^2 x)^2*(1+2*sin x*cos x))

=4*[x+(x+sin^2 x)^3]^3*(1+3*(x+sin^2 x)^2*(1+sin 2x))

God bless....I hope the explanation is useful.
