Answer

\[ = 5{\sin ^4}x\cos x\]

Work Step by Step

\[\begin{gathered} y = {\sin ^5}x \hfill \\ \hfill \\ y = f\,\left( u \right) = {u^5} \hfill \\ \hfill \\ set\,\,\,u = g\,\left( x \right) = \sin x \hfill \\ \hfill \\ Use\,\,the\,\,version\,\,1\,\,of\,\,the\,\,chain\,\,rule \hfill \\ \hfill \\ {\text{ }}\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \frac{{dy}}{{du}} \cdot \frac{{du}}{{dx}} \hfill \\ \hfill \\ Therefore \hfill \\ \hfill \\ \,\,\,\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \frac{d}{{du}}\,\left( {{u^5}} \right) \cdot \frac{d}{{dx}}\,\left( {\sin x} \right) \hfill \\ \hfill \\ = 5{u^4}\cos x \hfill \\ \hfill \\ substitute\,\,\,back\,\,u \hfill \\ \hfill \\ = 5{\sin ^4}x\cos x \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]
