y'=(45x^4(3x^5+1)^2)/sqrt(1-(3x^5+1)^6)

Explanation:

y=sin^(-1)(3x^5+1)^3

By (sin^(-1)u)'=1/sqrt(1-u^2) and Chain Rule,

y'=1/sqrt(1-[(3x^5+1)^3]^2) cdot [(3x^5+1)^3]'

By Power Rule and Cahin Rule,

y'=1/sqrt(1-(3x^5+1)^6)cdot3(3x^5+1)^2(15x^4)

By cleaning up a bit,

y'=(45x^4(3x^5+1)^2)/sqrt(1-(3x^5+1)^6)

I hope that this was clear.
