How do you differentiate sin(x^4)? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Chain Rule 1 Answer 256 Aug 4, 2017 4x^3cos(x^4) Explanation: By the chain rule (sin(x^4))'=(x^4)'sin'(x^4) =4x^3sin'(x^4) by the power rule And since sin'(x)=cos(x) (sin(x^4))'=4x^3cos(x^4) Answer link Related questions What is the Chain Rule for derivatives?
