Here are the derivatives for each function:

1. Find dydx\frac{dy}{dx} if y=cos⁡4(sin⁡2(x3))y = \cos^4(\sin^2(x^3)).

  1. Rewrite the function to clearly show the layers of the chain rule.

    y=(cos⁡(sin⁡2(x3)))4y = (\cos(\sin^2(x^3)))^4
  2. Apply the chain rule repeatedly.

    The outermost function is (⋅)4(\cdot)^4.

    dydx=4(cos⁡(sin⁡2(x3)))3⋅ddx(cos⁡(sin⁡2(x3)))\frac{dy}{dx} = 4(\cos(\sin^2(x^3)))^3 \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\cos(\sin^2(x^3)))
  3. Differentiate the next layer, cos⁡(⋅)\cos(\cdot).

    dydx=4cos⁡3(sin⁡2(x3))⋅(−sin⁡(sin⁡2(x3)))⋅ddx(sin⁡2(x3))\frac{dy}{dx} = 4\cos^3(\sin^2(x^3)) \cdot (-\sin(\sin^2(x^3))) \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\sin^2(x^3))
  4. Differentiate the next layer, (⋅)2(\cdot)^2.

    dydx=−4cos⁡3(sin⁡2(x3))sin⁡(sin⁡2(x3))⋅2sin⁡(x3)⋅ddx(sin⁡(x3))\frac{dy}{dx} = -4\cos^3(\sin^2(x^3))\sin(\sin^2(x^3)) \cdot 2\sin(x^3) \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\sin(x^3))
  5. Differentiate the next layer, sin⁡(⋅)\sin(\cdot).

    dydx=−8cos⁡3(sin⁡2(x3))sin⁡(sin⁡2(x3))sin⁡(x3)⋅cos⁡(x3)⋅ddx(x3)\frac{dy}{dx} = -8\cos^3(\sin^2(x^3))\sin(\sin^2(x^3))\sin(x^3) \cdot \cos(x^3) \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x^3)
  6. Differentiate the innermost layer, x3x^3.

    dydx=−8cos⁡3(sin⁡2(x3))sin⁡(sin⁡2(x3))sin⁡(x3)cos⁡(x3)⋅(3x2)\frac{dy}{dx} = -8\cos^3(\sin^2(x^3))\sin(\sin^2(x^3))\sin(x^3)\cos(x^3) \cdot (3x^2)
  7. Simplify the expression.

    dydx=−24x2cos⁡3(sin⁡2(x3))sin⁡(sin⁡2(x3))sin⁡(x3)cos⁡(x3)\frac{dy}{dx} = \boxed{-24x^2 \cos^3(\sin^2(x^3))\sin(\sin^2(x^3))\sin(x^3)\cos(x^3)}

    2. Find f′(x)f'(x) if f(x)=x2+x2+1f(x) = \sqrt{x^2 + \sqrt{x^2 + 1}}.

  8. Rewrite the function using exponents.

    f(x)=(x2+(x2+1)1/2)1/2f(x) = (x^2 + (x^2 + 1)^{1/2})^{1/2}
  9. Apply the chain rule.

    The outermost function is (⋅)1/2(\cdot)^{1/2}.

    f′(x)=12(x2+(x2+1)1/2)−1/2⋅ddx(x2+(x2+1)1/2)f'(x) = \frac{1}{2}(x^2 + (x^2 + 1)^{1/2})^{-1/2} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x^2 + (x^2 + 1)^{1/2})
  10. Differentiate the term inside the brackets.

    ddx(x2+(x2+1)1/2)=2x+12(x2+1)−1/2⋅ddx(x2+1)\frac{d}{dx}(x^2 + (x^2 + 1)^{1/2}) = 2x + \frac{1}{2}(x^2 + 1)^{-1/2} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x^2 + 1) =2x+12(x2+1)−1/2⋅(2x)= 2x + \frac{1}{2}(x^2 + 1)^{-1/2} \cdot (2x) =2x+x(x2+1)−1/2= 2x + x(x^2 + 1)^{-1/2} =2x+xx2+1= 2x + \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2 + 1}} =2xx2+1+xx2+1= \frac{2x\sqrt{x^2 + 1} + x}{\sqrt{x^2 + 1}} =x(2x2+1+1)x2+1= \frac{x(2\sqrt{x^2 + 1} + 1)}{\sqrt{x^2 + 1}}
  11. Substitute this back into the expression for f′(x)f'(x).

    f′(x)=12x2+x2+1⋅x(2x2+1+1)x2+1f'(x) = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x^2 + \sqrt{x^2 + 1}}} \cdot \frac{x(2\sqrt{x^2 + 1} + 1)}{\sqrt{x^2 + 1}} f′(x)=x(2x2+1+1)2x2+1x2+x2+1f'(x) = \boxed{\frac{x(2\sqrt{x^2 + 1} + 1)}{2\sqrt{x^2 + 1}\sqrt{x^2 + \sqrt{x^2 + 1}}}}

    3. Differentiate y=(x2+1)sin⁡xy = (x^2 + 1)^{\sin x} with respect to xx.

  12. Use logarithmic differentiation.

    Take the natural logarithm of both sides.

    ln⁡y=ln⁡((x2+1)sin⁡x)\ln y = \ln((x^2 + 1)^{\sin x}) ln⁡y=sin⁡x⋅ln⁡(x2+1)\ln y = \sin x \cdot \ln(x^2 + 1)
  13. Differentiate both sides with respect to xx.

    Use the product rule on the right side.

    1ydydx=ddx(sin⁡x)⋅ln⁡(x2+1)+sin⁡x⋅ddx(ln⁡(x2+1))\frac{1}{y} \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(\sin x) \cdot \ln(x^2 + 1) + \sin x \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\ln(x^2 + 1)) 1ydydx=(cos⁡x)ln⁡(x2+1)+sin⁡x⋅(1x2+1⋅2x)\frac{1}{y} \frac{dy}{dx} = (\cos x) \ln(x^2 + 1) + \sin x \cdot \left(\frac{1}{x^2 + 1} \cdot 2x\right) 1ydydx=cos⁡xln⁡(x2+1)+2xsin⁡xx2+1\frac{1}{y} \frac{dy}{dx} = \cos x \ln(x^2 + 1) + \frac{2x \sin x}{x^2 + 1}
  14. Solve for dydx\frac{dy}{dx}.

    dydx=y(cos⁡xln⁡(x2+1)+2xsin⁡xx2+1)\frac{dy}{dx} = y \left(\cos x \ln(x^2 + 1) + \frac{2x \sin x}{x^2 + 1}\right)

    Substitute y=(x2+1)sin⁡xy = (x^2 + 1)^{\sin x} back into the equation.

    dydx=(x2+1)sin⁡x(cos⁡xln⁡(x2+1)+2xsin⁡xx2+1)\frac{dy}{dx} = \boxed{(x^2 + 1)^{\sin x} \left(\cos x \ln(x^2 + 1) + \frac{2x \sin x}{x^2 + 1}\right)}

    4. Find dydx\frac{dy}{dx} for the equation sin⁡(x+y)=y2cos⁡x\sin(x + y) = y^2 \cos x.

  15. Differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to xx.

    Remember to use the chain rule for terms involving yy and the product rule for y2cos⁡xy^2 \cos x.

    ddx(sin⁡(x+y))=ddx(y2cos⁡x)\frac{d}{dx}(\sin(x + y)) = \frac{d}{dx}(y^2 \cos x) cos⁡(x+y)⋅ddx(x+y)=ddx(y2)cos⁡x+y2ddx(cos⁡x)\cos(x + y) \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x + y) = \frac{d}{dx}(y^2) \cos x + y^2 \frac{d}{dx}(\cos x) cos⁡(x+y)(1+dydx)=2ydydxcos⁡x+y2(−sin⁡x)\cos(x + y) \left(1 + \frac{dy}{dx}\right) = 2y \frac{dy}{dx} \cos x + y^2 (-\sin x) cos⁡(x+y)+cos⁡(x+y)dydx=2ycos⁡xdydx−y2sin⁡x\cos(x + y) + \cos(x + y) \frac{dy}{dx} = 2y \cos x \frac{dy}{dx} - y^2 \sin x
  16. Rearrange the equation to group terms with dydx\frac{dy}{dx} on one side.

    cos⁡(x+y)dydx−2ycos⁡xdydx=−y2sin⁡x−cos⁡(x+y)\cos(x + y) \frac{dy}{dx} - 2y \cos x \frac{dy}{dx} = -y^2 \sin x - \cos(x + y)
  17. Factor out dydx\frac{dy}{dx}.

    dydx(cos⁡(x+y)−2ycos⁡x)=−y2sin⁡x−cos⁡(x+y)\frac{dy}{dx}(\cos(x + y) - 2y \cos x) = -y^2 \sin x - \cos(x + y)
  18. Solve for dydx\frac{dy}{dx}.

    dydx=−y2sin⁡x−cos⁡(x+y)cos⁡(x+y)−2ycos⁡x\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-y^2 \sin x - \cos(x + y)}{\cos(x + y) - 2y \cos x} dydx=y2sin⁡x+cos⁡(x+y)2ycos⁡x−cos⁡(x+y)\frac{dy}{dx} = \boxed{\frac{y^2 \sin x + \cos(x + y)}{2y \cos x - \cos(x + y)}}

    5. Find the derivative of y=x5x−13(2x+3)4y = \frac{x^5 \sqrt[3]{x - 1}}{(2x + 3)^4} using logarithmic differentiation.

  19. Rewrite the function using exponents.

    y=x5(x−1)1/3(2x+3)4y = \frac{x^5 (x - 1)^{1/3}}{(2x + 3)^4}
  20. Take the natural logarithm of both sides.

    ln⁡y=ln⁡(x5(x−1)1/3(2x+3)4)\ln y = \ln\left(\frac{x^5 (x - 1)^{1/3}}{(2x + 3)^4}\right)
  21. Use logarithm properties to expand the expression.

    ln⁡y=ln⁡(x5)+ln⁡((x−1)1/3)−ln⁡((2x+3)4)\ln y = \ln(x^5) + \ln((x - 1)^{1/3}) - \ln((2x + 3)^4) ln⁡y=5ln⁡x+13ln⁡(x−1)−4ln⁡(2x+3)\ln y = 5 \ln x + \frac{1}{3} \ln(x - 1) - 4 \ln(2x + 3)
  22. Differentiate both sides with respect to xx.

    1ydydx=5⋅1x+13⋅1x−1⋅ddx(x−1)−4⋅12x+3⋅ddx(2x+3)\frac{1}{y} \frac{dy}{dx} = 5 \cdot \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{x - 1} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x - 1) - 4 \cdot \frac{1}{2x + 3} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(2x + 3) 1ydydx=5x+13(x−1)⋅(1)−42x+3⋅(2)\frac{1}{y} \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{5}{x} + \frac{1}{3(x - 1)} \cdot (1) - \frac{4}{2x + 3} \cdot (2) 1ydydx=5x+13(x−1)−82x+3\frac{1}{y} \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{5}{x} + \frac{1}{3(x - 1)} - \frac{8}{2x + 3}
  23. Solve for dydx\frac{dy}{dx}.

    dydx=y(5x+13(x−1)−82x+3)\frac{dy}{dx} = y \left(\frac{5}{x} + \frac{1}{3(x - 1)} - \frac{8}{2x + 3}\right)

    Substitute y=x5x−13(2x+3)4y = \frac{x^5 \sqrt[3]{x - 1}}{(2x + 3)^4} back into the equation.

    dydx=x5x−13(2x+3)4(5x+13(x−1)−82x+3)\frac{dy}{dx} = \boxed{\frac{x^5 \sqrt[3]{x - 1}}{(2x + 3)^4} \left(\frac{5}{x} + \frac{1}{3(x - 1)} - \frac{8}{2x + 3}\right)}
