Step 1.1

To apply the Chain Rule, set $u_{1}$ as $\frac{1 - e^{5 x}}{1 + e^{5 x}}$ .

$\frac{d}{d u_{1}} [\cos (u_{1})] \frac{d}{d x} [\frac{1 - e^{5 x}}{1 + e^{5 x}}]$

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

Step 2

Differentiate using the Quotient Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [\frac{f (x)}{g (x)}]$ is $\frac{g (x) \frac{d}{d x} [f (x)] - f (x) \frac{d}{d x} [g (x)]}{{g (x)}^{2}}$ where $f (x) = 1 - e^{5 x}$ and $g (x) = 1 + e^{5 x}$ .
