Step 3.1.1.1

Raise $\sin (x)$ to the power of $1$ .

$\sin^{1} (x) \sin (x) + \sin (x) \cdot 1 + 1 \sin (x) + 1 \cdot 1$

Step 3.1.1.2

Raise $\sin (x)$ to the power of $1$ .

$\sin^{1} (x) \sin^{1} (x) + \sin (x) \cdot 1 + 1 \sin (x) + 1 \cdot 1$

Step 3.1.1.3

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

${\sin (x)}^{1 + 1} + \sin (x) \cdot 1 + 1 \sin (x) + 1 \cdot 1$

Step 3.1.1.4
