$x^{5} \sin^{2} (3 x)$

Step 1

Differentiate using the Product Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [f (x) g (x)]$ is $f (x) \frac{d}{d x} [g (x)] + g (x) \frac{d}{d x} [f (x)]$ where $f (x) = x^{5}$ and $g (x) = \sin^{2} (3 x)$ .

$x^{5} \frac{d}{d x} [\sin^{2} (3 x)] + \sin^{2} (3 x) \frac{d}{d x} [x^{5}]$

Step 2

Differentiate using the chain rule, which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [f (g (x))]$ is $f' (g (x)) g' (x)$ where $f (x) = x^{2}$ and $g (x) = \sin (3 x)$ .

Step 2.1

To apply the Chain Rule, set $u_{1}$ as $\sin (3 x)$ .

$x^{5} (\frac{d}{d u_{1}} [{u_{1}}^{2}] \frac{d}{d x} [\sin (3 x)]) + \sin^{2} (3 x) \frac{d}{d x} [x^{5}]$

Step 2.2

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d u_{1}} [{u_{1}}^{n}]$ is $n {u_{1}}^{n - 1}$ where $n = 2$ .

$x^{5} (2 u_{1} \frac{d}{d x} [\sin (3 x)]) + \sin^{2} (3 x) \frac{d}{d x} [x^{5}]$

Step 2.3

Replace all occurrences of $u_{1}$ with $\sin (3 x)$ .

$x^{5} (2 \sin (3 x) \frac{d}{d x} [\sin (3 x)]) + \sin^{2} (3 x) \frac{d}{d x} [x^{5}]$

Step 3

Differentiate using the chain rule, which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [f (g (x))]$ is $f' (g (x)) g' (x)$ where $f (x) = \sin (x)$ and $g (x) = 3 x$ .

Step 3.1

To apply the Chain Rule, set $u_{2}$ as $3 x$ .

$x^{5} (2 \sin (3 x) (\frac{d}{d u_{2}} [\sin (u_{2})] \frac{d}{d x} [3 x])) + \sin^{2} (3 x) \frac{d}{d x} [x^{5}]$

Step 3.2

The derivative of $\sin (u_{2})$ with respect to $u_{2}$ is $\cos (u_{2})$ .

$x^{5} (2 \sin (3 x) (\cos (u_{2}) \frac{d}{d x} [3 x])) + \sin^{2} (3 x) \frac{d}{d x} [x^{5}]$

Step 3.3

Replace all occurrences of $u_{2}$ with $3 x$ .

$x^{5} (2 \sin (3 x) (\cos (3 x) \frac{d}{d x} [3 x])) + \sin^{2} (3 x) \frac{d}{d x} [x^{5}]$

Step 4.1

Since $3$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $3 x$ with respect to $x$ is $3 \frac{d}{d x} [x]$ .

$x^{5} (2 \sin (3 x) \cos (3 x) (3 \frac{d}{d x} [x])) + \sin^{2} (3 x) \frac{d}{d x} [x^{5}]$

Step 4.2

Multiply $3$ by $2$ .

$x^{5} (6 \sin (3 x) \cos (3 x) \frac{d}{d x} [x]) + \sin^{2} (3 x) \frac{d}{d x} [x^{5}]$

Step 4.3

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [x^{n}]$ is $n x^{n - 1}$ where $n = 1$ .

$x^{5} (6 \sin (3 x) \cos (3 x) \cdot 1) + \sin^{2} (3 x) \frac{d}{d x} [x^{5}]$

Step 4.4

Multiply $6$ by $1$ .

$x^{5} (6 \sin (3 x) \cos (3 x)) + \sin^{2} (3 x) \frac{d}{d x} [x^{5}]$

Step 4.5

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [x^{n}]$ is $n x^{n - 1}$ where $n = 5$ .

$x^{5} (6 \sin (3 x) \cos (3 x)) + \sin^{2} (3 x) (5 x^{4})$

Step 4.6

Reorder terms.

$6 x^{5} \cos (3 x) \sin (3 x) + 5 x^{4} \sin^{2} (3 x)$
