How do you differentiate #f(x)=(cos^2x^2)^(7/3)# using the chain rule? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Chain Rule 1 Answer Alan N. Sep 12, 2016 #-28/3xcos^(11/3)(x^2)sin(x^2)# Explanation: #f(x) = (cos^2x^2)^(7/3)# #=(cos^(14/3)x^2)# #f'(x) = 14/3* cos^(11/3)x^2 * d/dx(cosx^2)# (Power rule and Chain rule) #= 14/3* cos^(11/3)x^2 * (-sinx^2) * 2x# (Chain rule) #=-28/3xcos^(11/3)(x^2)sin(x^2)# Answer link Related questions What is the Chain Rule for derivatives?
