2xcot(x^2)

Explanation:

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

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

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

"here "y=ln(sin(x^2))

rArrdy/dx=1/(sin(x^2))xxd/dx(sin(x^2))

color(white)(rArrdy/dx)=1/(sin(x^2))xxcos(x^2)xxd/dx(x^2)

color(white)(rArrdy/dx)=cos(x^2)/sin(x^2)xx2x

color(white)(rArrdy/dx)=2xcot(x^2)
