Differentiate the following:
Recall, for the function h(x) = f (g(x)), the chain rule is
h0 (x) = f 0 (g(x)) · g 0 (x)
Recall, for the function h(x) = f (x) · g(x), the product rule is
h0 (x) = f (x) · g 0 (x) + f 0 (x) · g(x)
f (x)
, the quotient rule is
g(x)
g(x) · f 0 (x) − f (x) · g 0 (x)
h0 (x) =
(g(x))2
Recall, for the function h(x) =

(a) Rewrite the function as cos(x) · (sin(x))4
(b) Now we differentiate using the product rule.

= cos(x) · 4 (sin(x))3 · cos(x) + [− sin(x)] · sin4 (x)
= 4 cos2 (x) sin3 (x) − sin5 (x)
= sin3 (x) 4 cos2 (x) − sin2 (x)

Use the chain rule!
Recall
d
[tan(u)] = sec2 (u) · u0 . Note, u = x2 + sin(x).
