3.22 Examples of chain rule

Example

Find (i) ddxsin3x{{d}\over{dx}}\sin^{3}x and (ii) ddxe-x2;{{d}\over{dx}}e^{-x^{2}};

then find the derivatives of

(iii)f(x)=ex3x2  (iv)g(x)=esinxcosx.(iii)\quad f(x)={{e^{x^{3}}}\over{x^{2}}}\qquad(iv)\quad g(x)={{e^{\sin x}}% \over{\cos x}}.

Express the answer in the original variables.
