Step 1.1

Rewrite ${\sin (5 x)}^{\ln (x)}$ as $e^{\ln ({\sin (5 x)}^{\ln (x)})}$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [e^{\ln ({\sin (5 x)}^{\ln (x)})}]$

$\frac{d}{d x} [e^{\ln (x) \ln (\sin (5 x))}]$

Step 2

Differentiate using the chain rule, which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [f (g (x))]$ is $f' (g (x)) g' (x)$ where $f (x) = e^{x}$ and $g (x) = \ln (x) \ln (\sin (5 x))$ .

Step 2.1

To apply the Chain Rule, set $u_{1}$ as $\ln (x) \ln (\sin (5 x))$ .

$\frac{d}{d u_{1}} [e^{u_{1}}] \frac{d}{d x} [\ln (x) \ln (\sin (5 x))]$

Step 2.2

Differentiate using the Exponential Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d u_{1}} [a^{u_{1}}]$ is $a^{u_{1}} \ln (a)$ where $a$ = $e$ .

$e^{u_{1}} \frac{d}{d x} [\ln (x) \ln (\sin (5 x))]$

Step 2.3

Replace all occurrences of $u_{1}$ with $\ln (x) \ln (\sin (5 x))$ .

$e^{\ln (x) \ln (\sin (5 x))} \frac{d}{d x} [\ln (x) \ln (\sin (5 x))]$

Step 3

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 $f (x) = \ln (x)$ and $g (x) = \ln (\sin (5 x))$ .

$e^{\ln (x) \ln (\sin (5 x))} (\ln (x) \frac{d}{d x} [\ln (\sin (5 x))] + \ln (\sin (5 x)) \frac{d}{d x} [\ln (x)])$

Step 4

Differentiate using the chain rule, which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [f (g (x))]$ is $f' (g (x)) g' (x)$ where $f (x) = \ln (x)$ and $g (x) = \sin (5 x)$ .

Step 4.1

To apply the Chain Rule, set $u_{2}$ as $\sin (5 x)$ .

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

Step 4.2

The derivative of $\ln (u_{2})$ with respect to $u_{2}$ is $\frac{1}{u_{2}}$ .

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

Step 4.3

Replace all occurrences of $u_{2}$ with $\sin (5 x)$ .

$e^{\ln (x) \ln (\sin (5 x))} (\ln (x) (\frac{1}{\sin (5 x)} \frac{d}{d x} [\sin (5 x)]) + \ln (\sin (5 x)) \frac{d}{d x} [\ln (x)])$

Step 5

Convert from $\frac{1}{\sin (5 x)}$ to $\csc (5 x)$ .

$e^{\ln (x) \ln (\sin (5 x))} (\ln (x) (\csc (5 x) \frac{d}{d x} [\sin (5 x)]) + \ln (\sin (5 x)) \frac{d}{d x} [\ln (x)])$

Step 6

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 $g (x) = 5 x$ .

Step 6.2

The derivative of $\sin (u_{3})$ with respect to $u_{3}$ is $\cos (u_{3})$ .

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

Step 6.3

Replace all occurrences of $u_{3}$ with $5 x$ .

$e^{\ln (x) \ln (\sin (5 x))} (\ln (x) (\csc (5 x) (\cos (5 x) \frac{d}{d x} [5 x])) + \ln (\sin (5 x)) \frac{d}{d x} [\ln (x)])$

Step 7.2

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

$e^{\ln (x) \ln (\sin (5 x))} (\ln (x) (\csc (5 x) \cos (5 x) (5 \cdot 1)) + \ln (\sin (5 x)) \frac{d}{d x} [\ln (x)])$

Step 7.3.2

Move $5$ to the left of $\csc (5 x) \cos (5 x)$ .

$e^{\ln (x) \ln (\sin (5 x))} (\ln (x) (5 \cdot (\csc (5 x) \cos (5 x))) + \ln (\sin (5 x)) \frac{d}{d x} [\ln (x)])$

Step 8

The derivative of $\ln (x)$ with respect to $x$ is $\frac{1}{x}$ .

$e^{\ln (x) \ln (\sin (5 x))} (\ln (x) (5 \csc (5 x) \cos (5 x)) + \ln (\sin (5 x)) \frac{1}{x})$

Step 9

Combine $\ln (\sin (5 x))$ and $\frac{1}{x}$ .
